When I Shake my Lulav
When I touch my lulav, I feel transformed totally into a different person. It is like the Lulav can take me places spiritually straight up like its angel appears. So holy, so special is it. Soon, this mitzvah will be finished and my lulav will retire back into its plastic container never to be touched until Pesach when it is returned to dust. So why is my lulav so special?
actually, this morning, putting my tefillin on for the first time in 8 days, i felt the same kind of feeling…
very sweet, very comforting, like finally coming home. like i’d just like to wear my tefillin forever and never take them off.
