tributary:necromancerjet:girlactionfigure:Beautiful message captured here, don’t you agree? @humansofny let_my_people_knowI thought they symbolised the eyes, mouth, spine, and heart?they do, and they also represent four different kinds of people. the lulav (palm branch) symbolizes the spine, and because it’s odorless but does have a taste, it represents people who are knowledgeable but don’t do good deeds.the hadass (myrtle branch) symbolizes the eye. it has a smell but no taste, and represents people who do good deeds but don’t study torah.the aravah (willow branch) symbolizes the mouth. it lacks a taste and a smell, so it represents people who don’t perform mitzvot (i’m using this as an approximation of ‘good deeds,’ i’m aware it’s that and more) and who also don’t study torah.the etrog (lemon looking fruit) symbolizes the heart, has a taste and a smell, and represents those who study torah and perform mitzvot. -- source link
