Prior to Sukkot, all Yavneh Academy students in grades one through eight were divided into small groups of older and younger students to learn about the arba minim—lulav, etrog, hadasim, and aravot. They learned that although each one of the species represents a different type of Jew, ranging from those who excel in both Torah study and mitzvah observance to those deficient in both areas, all four must be held together. It is this unity that makes us such a special nation. After the learning, each student created a bracha card for the arba minim to use in the sukkah. What a special opportunity to have the entire school unite and internalize this beautiful message.
