Arutz Sheva IsraelNationalNews.com has upgraded its online Lulav and Etrog service this year to include expedited delivery enabling orders right up to this Wednesday's Sukkot holiday.
During the Sukkot holiday, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, Jews are commanded by the Torah in Leviticus Chapter 23:40, to hold four grown species - an etrog (citron), a lulav (palm frond), three hadassim (myrtle twigs) and two aravot (willow twigs) – and wave them up and down and in all four directions.
Each year, Arutz Sheva sells the 4 species from its online store and ships them in special protective boxes. This year, however, Arutz Sheva is extending its service throughout Monday and Tuesday of this week. Interested parties may order a set online at http://etrog.israelnnmall.com, and then call Arutz Sheva's US-based representative Ariel (718-288-0919) to confirm the additional shipping charge.
"Almost all of last year's clients ordered again this year," says Ariel, "because our species are good quality and our careful packaging insures safe delivery."
