INTRODUCTION
"On the first day you are to take choice fruit, palm fronds, thick branches and river-willows, and celebrate in the presence of YHWH Elohim for seven days..." Leviticus 23:40


Four Kinds of People
  1. The citron or etrog, which both smells and tastes good, represents a person who has attained wisdom from the Bible and also performs good deeds.
  2. The myrtle, which has a good fragance but inedible, symbolizes a person who does good deeds but hasn´t learned from the Bible.
  3. The lulav or date palm is edible but has no smell and thus represents a person who has wisdom but doesn´t engage in good deeds.
  4. Finally, the willow, which doesn´t have taste or aroma, represents a person with neither wisdom nor good deeds.

On Sukkot we take all four species together to show that all types of people are important and equal before G-D. It is a holiday of unity and appreciation of each other. However, there are the ties that bind them all together. A fifth type of person - one who brings all the other types of people together. We all can and should assume the rol of the "fifth part of the four species."
Everyone has the ability to love all people, respect all people, and teach others to do the same.
