We also bind together the Arba minim, (four types of fruit), an Esrog (citron), a Lulav (palm branch), three Hadassim (myrtle twigs), and two Arovos (willow twigs). On each day except Shabbos, we make a brocha over them and shake them in each direction.

Our Parshas begin immediately following the death of Aaron’s two sons Nadav and Avihu. Hashem commands Moshe to tell Aaron and his 2 remaining sons, not to go into the Holy of Holies at will, for they will share the same consequences as Nadav and Avihu.

The next portion begins with the statement: “You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your G‑d, am holy.” This declaration is followed by many Mitzvahs, including charity, Shabbos, morality, honesty in business, honor and awe of one’s parents, and the sacredness of life.

We find out the connection between honoring one's parents and the Mitzvah of keeping Shabbos.

We learn the power of influence.
