Shake Shake Shake, Shake Shake Shake, Shake your Lulav, Shake your Lulav
Today I had the unique experiance of buying my very own lulav and etrog. We went down to the Jerusalem Shuk and there was a huge bazarre of lulavs etrogs hadasim and aravot. I saw etrogs the size of softballs and lulavs that were upwards of 4 feet tall. There was a man trying to sell a 10 foot lulav. It was awesome. I picked out my own lulav and etrog, along with hadasim and aravot, all from different sellers mind you. The total was 50 NIS, and with a neat lulav carry case it was 65 NIS. Tonight is erev Sukkot, and the Sukkot are up at Beit Nativ. A couple of friends and I are going to sleep outside tonight, it should be a very fun experiance. Tonight for the Chag's dinner we are putting together a nice chicken dinner. I am going to go out and pick some roasted chickens from supersol and other people have brought other things. It should be a wonderful evening. After the chag we are going to be spending time in the Desert as part of our Tiyul. I'll be back Friday right before Shabbat, and I plan on staying at one of my co-counsuler's houses this weekend.

I saw the movie Ushpizin on Saturday night. It's good to get in the mood for the holiday.
Chickens sound like the most expensive part of the meal. Are your co-eaters being equally generous?
If you still have a cold, why are you sleeping outside?
Your tale of the experience of buying a lulav and etrog sounded marvelous!
When will you connect with the Ray and Rhona? They have your stuff.
Love,

bazzar-shuk. Neither bazarre nor bizzare. Sometimes spelling is bizzare in the bazzar.
No kidding, a10 foot lulav? I saw some on Ocean Parkway.
