While the Sukkah hut gives the Sukkot holiday its name, this festival has two other main symbols: the lulav and etrog (esrog). A lulav is a slender palm branch that is held together with two willow branches and three willow branches. An etrog (esrog) is a citron that looks mostly like a misshapen lemon but smells like heaven.

Lulav (Heb. לוּלָב; “a shoot” or “a young branch of a tree”) is a term applied in the Mishnah to all trees, e.g., “the lulavim of the terebinth, the pistachio, and the thorn” (Shev. 7:5) and to the vine (Or. 1:7).
