Question
Is it permitted to pluck a leaf from the lulav on Yom Tov?
Answer
It is permitted to pluck leaves from the lulav on Yom Tov, as there is no prohibition against plucking from a detached branch. However, after the lulav has been used for the mitzvah, it is forbidden to pluck a leaf from it since it has been designated for the mitzvah.
