Shaking the Lulav

Shaking the Lulav

A left-handed person should hold the lulav in his left hand and the esrog in his right hand.

When giving your arba minim to someone else to use for the mitzvah, it is advised to tell him/her clearly that it is a present on condition that he/she return it (matanah al menas lehachzir), especially on the first day of Sukkos. However, even if you did not say so, the other person is yotzei the mitzvah.

On the first two days of Sukkos, do not give the arba minim to a child to use until all the adults have used it.

After the first two days of Sukkos, you may use someone else’s arba minim without asking him first, as long as you don’t take it to another location.
