The four species market (Succoth) - Rosh HaAyin

just before the Succoth, i went over to the four species market in Rosh HaAyin.
it became a little family tradition to take the girls and to bargain over lulav or hadass (myrtle).













even little kids have their table with the merchandise...














the lulav must be ramrod straight, with whole leaves that lay closely together, and not be bent or broken at the top.













the palm branch table with special delivery from egypt.













the most perfect hadass is one whose leaves grow evenly in each set of three. Each leaf is about the size of a thumbnail.
