There’s so much to do on Sukkot. First we build a sukkah, then we decorate it. Once it’s ready, we can move into it. On Sukkot we also take the arba’a minim, or four species of plants: a lulav (palm branch), and etrog (citron  sort of like a lemon), and branches from a hadas (myrtle bush) and an aravah (willow). Every morning during Sukkot (except on Shabbat) we carry the arba’a minim in a parade around the synagogue.
