Lulav ([lu'lav]; Hebrew: לולב) is a closed frond of the date palm tree. It is one of the Four Species used during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The other Species are the hadass (myrtle), aravah (willow), and etrog (citron). When bound together, the lulav, hadass, and aravah are commonly referred to as "the lulav".
How much does a lulav and etrog cost?
Although the two objects may seem humble, together they can cost a very pretty penny. In a recent informal poll, we found that nearly a third of individuals spend $40-75 on a lulav and etrog, while 18% spend more than $75.
What does a lulav look like?
The etrog is shaped like the heart, and the lulav like the spine. The myrtle leaves are shaped like the eyes, and the willow leaves like the lips. Together, these four elements show that one should serve God with his or her heart, spine or body, eyes and lips.
