Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 137 Part 1/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How are the lulav and esrog held, waved and cared for through Succos? The Kitzur then turns to eating before the mitzvah, the lulav's water on Yom Tov, and smelling the hadas and esrog. Muktzeh on Shabbos and a borrowed or gifted lulav on the first day come last.

Key points

• On Chol HaMoed the Kitzur calls removing tefillin before the lulav proper, or at least the retzuos from the hand.
• The Kitzur lets the lulav go back into its water on Yom Tov, but not have the water changed.
• The Kitzur bars smelling the hadas all seven days, and advises against smelling the esrog except on Shabbos.
