Binding the Lulav: How, When, and What to Do on the Festival Itself
Question
When should I bind the lulav? On the eve of Sukkot, I prepare the koishel, place it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh, and in the morning, I put the koishel back. Is this okay? Is there a lack in the binding? Is there building or tying on Yom Tov? What should I do?
Answer
Hello,
There is no prohibition on Yom Tov to insert the species into the binding on Yom Tov.
Not because of binding, nor because of tying.
Of course, the knots and rings should be made on the eve of Yom Tov.
