The four species that the Torah says to
take and shake, viewed from the side. If
a non-Jew were to come and see a Jew
taking an etrog, thinking it's a lemon
with branches, shaking it with
intention, and turning to the sides,
he wouldn't understand what it is, but
it's exactly like a person who doesn't
know what radiation equipment is and
sees a doctor focused and pressing
buttons. This is written in the Gemara
that when the people of Israel shake the
four species, and the Kabbalah sages
expand on it even further,
if we had spiritual eyes, we would see
how many harsh decrees, how many harmful
entities there are, spiritual pests,
destroyers created from a person's sins,
who come and wait for permission to harm
him.
And with this shaking of the four
species, he eliminates them all.
Therefore, one turns to the four corners
of the heavens. From every side, a
thousand may fall at your side, and
10,000 at your right hand, but it shall
not come near you. This is the great
power of the four species. How careful
one must be with this precious
commandment and not forego it.
