message: I did not Italic textadd a paragraph on lefty customs and changed the some to most, with regards to how the species are held together.
Does Chabad have the same custom of lefty-swapping?
"In addition, lefties have differing customs regarding holding the four species together. An Ashkenazi lefty holds his lulav in his left hand. However, the setting of the haddasim and aravot is the same as everyone else, which is that the haddasim go on the right of the lulav (as you hold the lulav with its spine facing you). The Sephardic custom is that even a lefty holds the lulav in the right hand."

message: The lulav article is a mess and stub. I went over it and it still is. It talks more about the four collective species rather than the lulav itself. The etrog article is a stub, and needs to be wikified (it has public domain work but it should still be our own). Hadass and aravah don't exist (the latter isn't on the branches but a place in Israel). My idea is to merge all four into this article, place redirects at the Hebrew names, and simply have a link at the secular pages (palm, myrtle, willow, and citron) to this page. I have two potential problems:Etrog is also a nickname used for the Canadian Film Awards in the 1970's. This line appears above the main etrog article. Perhaps there should be a disambiguation page there. And then there's Arabah, a place in Israel, with Aravah redirecting to it. However, I think we can make this work.

replies: text: Still, Etrog has wandered its way into the collective consciousness in a way that makes it more visible than the Four species. They should both be articles Mjchonoles 05:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The aravah should be on the left side, next to the etrog. Is a more accurate picture available? Yoninah 22:11, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not only that, put the etrog is missing the pitom! Not to mention the aravah is in poor shape, and a sukkah background would be more appropriate. Let's get a new picture, fast! HereToHelp 18:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The pitom is not such a big deal - the etrog is still kosher.  In Israel (unlike america) pitom-less etrogim are perfered.  Jon513 13:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The Lulav in the picture is not reversed

message: Were the species formerly available at all in northern places? Was there enough trade in medieval times to make them available even around the Baltic Sea, in England and northern Germany etc.? What if they couldn't be acquired, or only some of the four could be had? -- 77.7.149.205 (talk) 23:47, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Page move per [[WP:CAPS]]

message: This section of lede is not correct. The four species (Hebrew: ארבעת המינים‎ arba'at ha-minim, also called arba'a minim) are four plants mentioned in the Torah (Leviticus 23:40) as being relevant to Sukkot.[1]  The attribution of the title four species is Rabbinic, see Encyclopedia Judaica v 19, pg 302.  It is  Rabbinic authority that gave the four plants (whose names are not given in the Hebrew Bible) the title the four species.  I would like to re word this along the lines of The four species (Hebrew: ארבעת המינים‎ arba'at ha-minim, also called arba'a minim) is the Rabbinic name for four plants mentioned in the Torah (Leviticus 23:40) as being relevant to Sukkot.[1] Any comments?
