Ownership in Lulav and Sukkah

Ben Chamesh L'Mikra | June 27, 2025

Lulav and the Sukkah require "שלו" personal ownership. A borrowed Lulav is not enough one’s property since only provided to do the Mitzvah and does not fulfill לכם. A borrowed Sukkah, however, is for use just like a home all year, and becomes as if one’s own and is permitted as לך.

Succos is a time of revealing that which is previously hidden (in Tishrei).

The four minim reveals the connection to G-d by doing Mitzvos, but is subject to degrees and differences.

Mitzvah of Sukkah reveals the inner connection to G-d that is above from divisions and differences; “all Jews are able to sit in one Sukkah”.
