Understanding Sukkot and the Importance of the Etrog

During this joyous festival, families build temporary outdoor structures called sukkahs and engage in various traditions, including the shaking of the lulav and etrog.
The etrog, a citron fruit, is one of the Four Species used in Sukkot rituals. It holds significant symbolic meaning, representing the heart and the good deeds of an individual. Obtaining a flawless etrog becomes a quest for the characters in "Who Got The Etrog", as they strive to find the most beautiful fruit for their sukkah.
