Суккот

When eating in the sukkah, the blessing 'Leishev BaSukkah' (to dwell in the sukkah) is recited after the blessing over bread or other foods. On the first night, Shehecheyanu is also added. The blessing thanks God for commanding us to dwell in booths.

The blessing 'Al Netilat Lulav' is recited while holding the lulav (palm), hadassim (myrtle), and aravot (willow) in the right hand and the etrog (citron) in the left. After the blessing, the species are brought together and waved in six directions (right, left, forward, up, down, backward).

Hoshanot are prayers recited while circling the bimah (Torah reading platform) with the Four Species during Sukkot morning services. On Hoshana Rabbah (the 7th day), seven circuits are made, and willow branches are beaten on the ground while special prayers are recited.

Full Hallel with a blessing is recited on all seven days of Sukkot, as well as on Shemini Atzeret. This is unique among festivals, as on Passover only half Hallel is said on most days. The Hallel is recited while holding the lulav and etrog.
