QUESTION: How are the four
species of vegetation used on
“Succoth” tied together and held?
ANSWER: The four species are
held in both hands and separated
in groups. To the tall and state
ly lulab (palm branch) are attach
ed three twigs of haddasim
(myrtle) on its right side and two
branches of arovos (willows).
These three items are all tied to
gether with rings made of palm
strips and are all held in the right
hand. The esrog (citron) is held
in the left hand in such a position
that its long side comes up against
the lower section of the other
triple bouquet. Such is the jibsi
tion in which they are held during
the blessings which are recited
over them each morning (except
on the Sabbath) and during the
daily Hallel prayers in the syna-

gogue, as well as during the daily
procession around the altar of the
synagogue which is recited to
wards the end of the Musaf service
each day of the holiday (except
on the Sabbath).
QUESTION: What are the
“Na-anuim” ?
ANSWER: During the Hallel
prayers in the synagogue the four
species are waved towards the
four points of the compass, and
upwards and downwards, thus
making six distinct motions. These
motions are called “Na-anuim”
which means "motions or waves.”
QUESTION: Why is this done?
ANSWER: The Talmud (Trac
sate Succah) gives a number of
reasons for this custom. The most
priminent reason is the fact that
this is a symbol to show the om
nipresence of God. By waving the

Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Board of Direc
tors of HIAS, permit me to extend
to you warmest Rosh Hashonah
greetings and to express to you
our profound gratitude for the ef
forts you have made during the
past year to present and clarify
Jewish migration ‘problems to
your many readers.
You have brought closer to the
American Jew the problems of his
brethren, here and overseas. You
have brought before the great
American Jewish public the ques
tions of migration and relief, and
by your cooperation have aroused
in the public a greater interest
in these matters.
May the New Year bring peace
and happiness to everyone, and to
you may the New Year begin a
year of fruitful endeavor.
Very sincerely yours,
Samuel A. Telsey
President 4
species in each of these directions
we give testimony to the sover
eignty of the Almighty over the
four corners of the world and in
the Heaven above as well as upon
the Earth beneath. Another rea
son given is that the motions serve
as a symbol of prayer to the
Almighty to keep the evil and de
structive winds away from all
four directions and to keep away
harmful rain from the Heaven
above and poisonous dew from the
Earth beneath. Still another rea
son is advanced, but not popularly
advised. It is claimed that the
species are waved in all directions
to mock Satan who had been the
prosecuting agent during the High
Holidays, but whose evil gestures
had been overcome by the fasting,
prayer and penitence we exerted
during the High Holidays.
