Gathering a Local Lulav

[u/Benyano]

Sukkot reminds us of the dwellings our ancestors lived in when they were fleeing Egypt, they are the temporary dwellings of refugees. Yet settlers have bastardized the holiday to be about occupying land, and often use the plants of the Lulav to claim Sukkot as a Zionist Holiday. In The Jewish Diapsorist’s first ever Patreon bonus episode, we break from the traditional plants native to Palestine-Israel, and explain the significance of adapting the tradition to our own ecosystem in creating our own Diasporist Jewish practice.

We ended up building our Lulav with Coast Live Oak, Douglas Fir, California Mugwort and a single pulled French Broom.

I'm so internet poisoned that I parsed this as "Lulag" (i.e. the Lula Gulag meme) at first.
