Two Orthodox Jewish men select their Lulav for the festival of Sukkot, the feast of Tabernacles. The Lulav is a Palm frond used in the mitzvah of the four species. To qualify for use the Lulav must be perfectly straight with whole leave that lay closely together and not be broken at the top. The holiday of Sukkot commemorates the forty-year period during which the children of Israel were wandering in the desert.
