Realizing Control: The Underlying Meaning of the Four Species
The Alsheich HaKadosh writes in parashat Emor that the underlying meaning of us taking the Dalet Minim– the Etrog, Lulav, Hadasim and Aravot - on Sukkot is for us to realize that every last detail of our lives is totally in the hands of Hashem.
So on this glorious holiday of Sukkot, when we are performing these beautiful mitzvot, we should have in mind how precious we are to Hashem and that He is with us with every move that we make. We are totally under His control. Nobody else has any effect on us. The Sukkah is the Sila d’Hemnuta – the shade of Emunah. There as well, we are in the embrace of Hashem. How fortunate we are to be so connected to Hashem, the מלך מלכי המלכים, הקדוש ברוך הוא.
Chag Sameach!!
