# The Sephardic custom is to put one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the left of the [[lulav]], one [[Hadas]] in the middle but slightly to the right , and one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the right side. <Ref> Magen Avraham 651:4 quoting the Arizal writes that one should put one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the left of the [[lulav]], one [[Hadas]] in the middle together with the [[Lulav]], and one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the right side. The Shaar HaTziyun 651:11 quotes the Pri Megadim who says that one shouldn’t follow that practice unless one is known for his piety. However, Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 160, [[Sukkot]] p. 75) writes that the Sephardic custom is to follow the Arizal. The Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 343) also quotes the Magen Avraham. </ref> However, the Ashkenazic custom is to set up the [[Hadasim]] to the right of the [[Lulav]] and the [[Aravot]] to the left. <ref>Mishna Brurah 651:12, Nitei Gavriel (Arba Minim 40:4). Mishna Brurah there adds that this is true for a lefty as well. </ref> | # The Sephardic custom is to put one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the left of the [[lulav]], one [[Hadas]] in the middle but slightly to the right , and one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the right side. <Ref> Magen Avraham 651:4 quoting the Arizal writes that one should put one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the left of the [[lulav]], one [[Hadas]] in the middle together with the [[Lulav]], and one [[Hadas]] and one [[Aravah]] on the right side.

#It is a mitzva to tie the [[lulav]] together, but if you don't it is still kosher. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 651:1. Mishna Brurah 651:8 explains although we don't hold like the shita of Rabbi Yehuda on sukka 11b who says that you need to tie it together, there is still the mitzva of hiddur mitzva from the pasuk of זֶה אֵלִי וְאַנְוֵהוּ.
