Securing the Best Four Species: Unveiling Insider Tips and Embracing the Deeper Essence of Sukkos 2023

0:01 While making my rounds at the local Four Species trade show I bumped into a friend, a fellow shopper for the Arba Minim, and gave me a couple great tips, some bargaining chips on how to find for the best price the most flawless and exquisite love and estric scent. He told me. Well, number one, before you even look at the estric, ask the price. Otherwise, if the seller sees how much you like it you have this connection with the Lula of this estric Maybe the price will go up. You ask the price before you examine the estric.

0:41 Further, he said, this year Shabbos actually falls out on the first day of Yumtive. The Mitzvah is only Rabbinic this year and perhaps that can also be used as a bargaining chip to help get a better price. And this great friend of mine. He then continued to say one of the most inspiring teachings he said didn't he know? The great Rev Victor Miller reminded us that while when Shabbos falls on the first day of Yumtive, the Lula of an estric is only going to be Durabunna this year, but there still is a Dar-Isa, that perhaps we should allocate some of our funds from the Lula of an estric fund to this fund.

1:28 And that is the Mitzvah of gladdening the hearts of your spouse, of your children, who samach them. You're supposed to make them happy. That is to buy some jewelry, buy a dress. The wife, the wife should see to it that there is some meat and some wine. Definitely seems that women and men's tastes haven't changed very much over the years and children should some candy and some toys. So that's still a Dar-Isa. So move some money into that category and allocate some necessary funds. And I want to also stick in here that it just seems straight from the sookim that there's another Dar-Isa that maybe is overlooked.

2:12 We are commanded to celebrate and invite the stranger and the fatherless and the widow in our communities. Don't forget that there's still a Dar-Isa this year, In fact all seven days, to gladden the gar, the Levite, the convert, any person that may not have a meal. And, as the Ramam says, if you just close your sookah walls and your doors and just party with the cool kids, that is not a samachel mitzvah, that is just one big event so that you can fill your belly. So make sure to do your Dar-Isa mitzvahs this year along with the Dar-Ibanans in the best possible fashion.
