Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 136

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What makes a hadas and an arava kosher, and how are the four species bound together? The Kitzur then has the species held the way they grew, with the hadasim to the right of the lulav, and goes on to the knots and to an arava cut on Yom Tov.

Key points

• The Kitzur takes non triple braided hadasim when no others exist, but without the bracha.
• In pressing situations, the Kitzur accepts a hadas whose upper majority alone is triple braided.
• The Kitzur accepts aravos grown anywhere, but prefers, where possible, ones grown near a stream.
