HOW TO BLESS AND WAVE THE LULAV/ETROG--the lulav/etrog are blessed and waved every day of Sukkot, waved in procession around the synagogue,and also waved during the recitation of Hallel, usually Psalm 118. It is taken in procession on Hoshana Rabbah, the last day of Sukkot, at which seven circuits are made around the synagogue.This is lots of fun and everyone enjoys waving their praise! The lulav/etrog is waved in six directions--east, west, north, south, up, down--to show that God is everywhere and His presence fills the universe. Here's the websites that discuss this, from the very simple to the super-complex interpretations of Talmudic scholars:
