# The halacha follows the opinion that it is not necessary to have the Lulav, Hadasim, and Aravot bound up together, however, it is a mitzvah and proper to do so to make the 4 minim look nicer.<ref>Gemara Sukkah 33a cites a dispute between Rabbi Yehuda who holds that there is an obligation to bind the 3 minim together and the Rabbis who hold that it is only preferable in order to make the mitzvah nicer. Rambam (Lulav 7:4) and S"A 551:1 hold like the Rabbis.</ref> | |||
# The Etrog is not tied up with the other 3 minim. It is held in the left hand while the others are held in the right hand.<ref>Rambam (Lulav 7:4), S"A 551:2</ref> | |||
# It is proper to bind the Lulav, Hadasim, and Aravot with a double knot.<Ref>S"A 551:1</ref> The minhag is to allow using the kashekel's (woven lulav leaf holders) and consider them to be a binding of the 3 minim.<ref>Mishna Brurah 551:8 citing the Agur BeOhalecha</ref> | |||
# If one forgot and didn't tie them before the holiday, one shouldn't tie them with a knot on Yom Tov.<Ref>S"A 551:1</ref> Rather one should take a string, wrap them up, and tuck in the end of the string.<ref>Tur and Rama 551:1</ref> | |||
