  • Rabbi Meir Gryneman performed the Sukkot lulav ritual.
  • The ritual took place during Chol HaMoed.
  • Shuki Lerer photographed the event.

Rabbi Meir Gryneman was photographed performing the "ha'anana" ritual, which involves shaking the lulav (a palm frond) and etrog (a citron), during the intermediate days of the Sukkot holiday, known as Chol HaMoed. The photographs were taken by Shuki Lerer. The article repeats the description of Rabbi Gryneman taking the lulav multiple times, accompanied by the photographer's credit. The ritual is a central observance during Sukkot, a major Jewish festival.

The tradition of shaking the lulav and etrog is performed daily throughout Sukkot, with specific blessings recited. The "ha'anana" is a component of this ritual, where the four species are waved in various directions. This observance is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and is meant to express gratitude and joy during the harvest festival.
