Yerushalmi Sukkah 3:8 ירושלמי סוכה ג׳:ח׳

MISHNAH: One ties the lulav only with its own kind⁹⁷One ties myrtle and willow branches to the palm branch only with palm leaves, myrtle or willow branches, in order not to add an unauthorized kind to the 4 authorized ones., the words of Rebbi Jehudah. Rebbi Meïr says, even with a string⁹⁸In his opinion the tying of myrtle and willow branches to the palm branch is common usage, not biblical commandment, and the string never is counted as another kind.. Rebbi Meïr said, it happened that the people of Jerusalem did tie their lulavim with golden jewels⁹⁹Arabic גִמָאנ “jewels”.. They told him, under these they tied it with its own kind. Where did they move¹⁰⁰In the synagogue the main service involving the lulav is the recitation of Hallel, Pss. 113–118, where the lulav is moved at the recitation or repetition of designated verses.? At thank the Eternal¹⁰¹Ps. 118:1,29. beginning and end, and also at please, Eternal, please save¹⁰²Ps. 118:25., following the words of the House of Hillel. The House of Shammai say, also at please, Eternal, please give success¹⁰²Ps. 118:25.. Rebbi Aqiba said, I was watching Rabban Gamliel and Rebbi Joshua, when all the people were shaking their lulavim but they moved them only at please, Eternal, please save.
If somebody returns from a trip where he had no lulav, when he enters his house he can take it at his table¹⁰⁴And make the benediction (Note 67).. If he did not take it in the morning he may take it in the afternoon since the entire day is qualified for the lulav.

HALAKHAH: Therefore not at thank¹⁰³Does R. Aqiba imply that Rabban Gamliel and R. Joshua did not move their lulav at the beginning and the end of Ps. 118, which is accepted by all traditions and was never in doubt? The answer is that he only excludes action following the House of Shammai.? To exclude also at please, Eternal, please give success.

Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi in the name of Rav: If one rises early to go on a trip, he takes a lulav and moves it, or the shofar and blows it¹⁰⁵Babli Berakhot30a.. When the time arrives to read the shema`<sup>106</sup>At dawn., he reads and prays. It was stated, he was to move three times. Rebbi Ze`ira asked, so one and so one, or so and so one one¹⁰⁷The movement of the lulav is to move it away and return it near one’s body. The question is whether this counts as one or as two motions.? There, we have stated¹⁰⁸Mishnah Niddah9:7. In a test of a stain whether it is from blood or not one has to move each chemical three times over the stain. The same question arises, are forth and back counted as two or one motions? Babli Niddah63a; also Menaḥot76a, Bava qamma119b, in the name of R. Ze`ira’s student R. Jeremiah.: “He has to rub each kind three times.” Rebbi Ze`ira asked, so one and so one, or so and so one?
