Hayom Yom 15 Tishrei - Customs of Sukkos
from The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman
כְּשֶׁנּוֹתְנִים הַד' מִינִים לְאַחֵר לְבָרֵךְ עֲלֵיהֶםWhen handing someone the Four Species so that he can recite a blessing over them, אוֹמְרִים בְּפֵרוּשׁ שֶׁהוּא בְּמַתָּנָה עַל מְנָת לְהַחֲזִירone should say explicitly that it this “a gift on condition that it is returned.”וּבִפְרַט בְּיוֹם רִאשׁוֹןThis practice applies especially on the first day, וְהוּא תּוֹעֶלֶת לַנּוֹתֵן וְלַמְּקַבֵּלand it is of benefit both to the donor and to the recipient.הוֹרָה אַאַמוּ"ר שֶׁיַּתְחִילוּ בִּרְכַּת שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ כְּשֶׁהַלּוּלָב בְּיָדוֹ אַחַת וְהָאֶתְרוֹג בַּשְׁנִיָּהMy revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], directed that one should begin reciting the blessing Shehecheyanu while holding the lulav in one hand and the esrog in the other.הַפְּסוּקִים כִּי אָמַרְתִּי גו' - רַק בְּהוֹשַׁעֲנָא רַבָּה[When reciting the Hoshanos, we say the verses and phrases that appear in the Siddur after each day’s reading, such as] Ki Amarti..., only on Hoshana Rabbah.גַּם בַּיּוֹם מְבָרְכִים לֵשֵׁב בַּסּוּכָּה אַחַר קִדּוּשׁ וְלֹא אַחַר הַמּוֹצִיאEven during the day, the blessing Leishev basukkah is recited after Kiddush, and not after Hamotzi.הַהַנְהָגָה בְּעֵת בִּרְכַּת כֹּהֲנִים (כַּנִּזְכָּר לְעִיל יוֹם ב' דְּחַג הַשָּׁבוּעוֹת)The customs that are observed during the Priestly Blessing (as detailed in the entry for the second day of Shavuos) אָנוּ יוֹדְעִים עַל יְדֵי זֶה שֶׁרַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן הָיָה לוֹקֵחַ אֶת הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק, קוֹדֶם חֲתוּנָתוֹhave come down to us by virtue of the fact that the Alter Rebbe used to take [his grandson] the Tzemach Tzedek — [in his youth,] before he was married — תַּחַת טַלִּיתוֹ לִנְשִׂיאַת כַּפַּיִםunder his tallis during the Priestly Blessing.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in English
