It so happens that we served a Chicken-Salad Bar with all type of veggies. fillers, toppings and dressings, for lunch in the Sukkah on the first day of Sukkot this year.
How fitting for the first day of Lulav!
A Lulav is a set of 4 different components: The Palm Frond (Lulav), the Citron (the Etrog), Myrtle Twigs (Hadassim) and Willow Branches (Aravot). Each one has its own character, shape and features. Each one contributes something different to the set, they complement one another.
Like a good mix of a Salad, all the different ingredients come together harmoniously and deliciously, in concert, in harmony, individually and together.
