“Daddy, Can I accept your lulav and Esrog?”
The bas-Mitzvahed babe has asked the catechism accurately on that aboriginal day of Sukkos. She said the chat “Have” – advertence that she knows the halacha of “lachem” that on the aboriginal two canicule of Sukkps the lulav and esrog accept to accord to the actuality authoritative the bracha – contrarily it is a non-fulfillment of the Mitzvah and a bracha levatalah. But which one should she (or he) booty first, halachically? Should the lulav (et al) be taken first, or the esrog?
An actionable analysis appear that back women accomplish the Mitzvah, they usually booty the esrog aboriginal and again the lulav. Yet back best men do it, they booty the lulav aboriginal and again the esrog. It is unclear, however, as to whether this is done by them as a halachic convenance or aloof as a habit. [When bussing off the table and there is a set of bare silverware, men will added generally bus it clean, while women will added generally bus it dirty, but we digress].
What is the halacha? The actual acknowledgment is that it is a machlokes – a agitation in halacha. Indeed, this columnist would like to advance that originally, afterwards the advertisement of the Sefer Mogain Avrohom, best of the Ashkenazic apple followed the appearance that the Esrog goes first. Alone later, did the Ashkenazic apple change. But, let’s alpha at the beginning.
THE RAMAH
The Ramah in 651:12 writes that one takes the Lulav first. The Mishna Brurah (citing the Vilna Gaon) explains that back the diction of the bracha is on the lulav – it charge be the abutting affair to the bracha. The Shaarei Teshuvah cites the appearance of the Machazik bracha who additionally states that one takes the lulav aboriginal and indicates that this appearance is the adopted method.
THE MOGAIN AVROHOM’S VIEW
The Mogain Avrohom (651:8 citation a Mateh Moshe who cites a Shla) writes that one should aboriginal booty the esrog and again the lulav. Back putting it away, he writes to put the lulav abroad aboriginal and again the esrog. He compares it to Tefillin, area we aboriginal put on the shel yad, again the shel rosh and again we booty off the shel rosh and again the shel yad. It would accept that the allegory is based on the actuality that the shel yad appears in the pasuk aboriginal and again the shel rosh. By the aforementioned token, the esrog appears in the ballad aboriginal and again the added minim.
“On the aboriginal day you shall booty the artefact of hadar trees, branches of access trees, boughs of abounding trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice afore Hashem..” Vayikrah 23:40
ATTACKING THE MOGAIN AVROHOM
Rav Yechezkel Landau, of Prague in his Dagul Mervava, however, claims that this charge be an error. He attempts to belie the affirmation from the Gemorah in Menachos 36a – area the Gemorah asks how do we acquire that back he removes the tefillin that the shel rosh comes first? It seems that the actuality that a appropriate ballad is required, and they shall be as frontlets – totafos – actuality plural at all times – shows that the go-to halacha would be to booty off the aboriginal one first. The Dagul Mervava additionally questions the aboriginal affirmation that the Esrog is taken aboriginal in the aboriginal place. He asks how could the Magain Avrohom accept absent an absolute Rambam, Tosfos, Rosh and Tur – who all accompaniment that the Lulav is taken first? The Chayei Odom (from Vilna and afterwards the Shulchan Shlomo) in Siman 148 additionally attacks the Mogain Avrohom like the Dagul Mervava.
The aboriginal Shulchan Shlomo (of Vilna) (Mirkes) cites the halacha in accordance with the Mogain Avrohom. Rav Yaakov Lorberbaum (athor of the Nesivos) in his Derech haChaim (101:5) additionally rules like the Mogain Avrohom. The Yad Ephraim and Machatzis HaShekel accept to aphorism like him as well.
The Sdei Chemed cites the Chida as advertence like the appearance of the Dagul Mervavah, but it seems that abroad th Chida writes absolutely like the appearance of the Mogain Avrohom (in his Sefer Tov Ayin).
DEFENDING THE MOGAIN AVROHOM
In aegis of the Magain Avrohom, the Sefer Zichron Sofrim (a abreast assignment generally based on assorted writings of the Chasam Sofer) writes that the Mateh Moshe connects and correlates the 4 minim to the 4 parshios in the Tefillin – that there is a airy affiliation amid the two Mitzvos. Therefore, one is abstruse out from the other. [This fits accurately with Gemorah in Sukkah 38a area the lulav is the arrow in the eye of the Satan, acquired the aforementioned vere that refers to the Tefillin shel Rosh]. The Aishel Avrohom and the Chasam Sopher both avert the appearance of the Mogain Avrohom as well.
MISHNA BRURAH AND RAV SHULCHAN ARUCH
It is absorbing to agenda that both the Mishna Brurah and the Rav Shulchan Aruch leave out the appearance of the Mogain Avrohom. It could be that there were two added factors that affected their decisions. Firstly, the Lulav has three of 4 minim apprenticed calm – which may accord them greater weight. Secondly, back the appropriate duke has greater weight than the larboard duke – this would additionally administer to Mitzvos of the appropriate hand. Back the Lulav is taken in the appropriate hand, it would accept precedence. It could actual able-bodied be that the Mishna Brurah activated these two factors to set abreast the adjustment of the Pasuk affair (See Nezirus SHimshom and Sdei Chemed cited in the Kuntrus Acharon of the Mateh Ephraim).
FOUR METHODS TO UNDERSTANDING THE DEBATE
Perhaps one could say that Rav Landau is of the assessment that one cannot acquire the law of the 4 minim from Tefillin because in Tefillin, there are two abstracted Mitzvos – while in the 4 minim – they are all one Mitzvah – so the adjustment in the psukim wouldn’t count. The Mogain Avrohom would authority either that there is a airy affiliation – accordingly one could acquire one from the added or that one may acquire the centralized adjustment of the elements of one Mitzvah from the alien adjustment two Mitzvos.
An another access lies in how one understands the Mitzvah of the 4 minim. Is it the demography of the 4 minim or the captivation of the 4 minim? The Binyan Shlomo (Siman 48) cites the appearance of Rav Yisroel Salanter [the architect of the Mussar Movement], that the Mitzvah lies in the above – the antecedent demography of the 4 minim. The Chazon Ish and the Netziv are of the assessment that the Mitzvah lies in the closing – the captivation of the 4 minim. The Mogain Avrohom would be of the assessment that the adjustment in the verses accept abundant weight – back that is area the Mitzvah lies. On the added hand, the Dagul Mervavah would authority that the adjustment is alone back there is a Mitzvah actuality fulfilled, but back the Mitzvah is alone in the captivation of the 4 minim – we would eventually accord weight to the diction of the bracha.
A third access is like we appropriate before. The Lulav has three minim apprenticed together. What has antecedence the adjustment of the pasuk or the actuality that there are added beefy Mitzvos or the adjustment begin in the Pasuk? The Mogain Avrohom would accord added weight to the order, while the Dagul Mervava would accord added weight to the Mitzvos.
A fourth access is that the affair is carefully a amount of kavod habracha (like the Vilna Gaon writes), account to the blessing. Back the absolution was accustomed on the Lulav – that is the one that should be taken first, according to the Dagul Mervava. The Mogain Avrohom would authority that the adjustment of the pasuk has precedence.
WHAT DID RAV ELYASHIV DO?
Rav Elyashiv followed the appearance of the Mishna Brurah strictly, and took the Lulav aboriginal (Ish al HaAida folio 21). This was additionally what the Steipler did as able-bodied as Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.
CONCLUSION
If we accept that best bodies are blind of the halachic aspects of the issue, and if we accept that our antecedent statistics are actual that women added generally than not booty the esrog aboriginal – why would this be? Perhaps the acknowledgment to this is agnate to what some Chassidim explain is the adjustment that Moshe Rabbeinu himself took the esrog first. The esrog alludes to the heart. Moshe Rabbeinu admired to abduction the affection of the bodies first. By the aforementioned token, women are usually added alert to the affecting aspects of things. Perhaps, subconsciously, this is the acumen that they may ability for the esrog first.
