On Sukkot, we have the mitzvah of taking 4 species, including a Lulav (a date tree branch),
an Etrog (lemon), 3 Hadassim (myrtle branches) and 2 aravot (willow branches).
These 4 species parallel the 4 types of Jews, each one with its different levels of knowledge in Torah and mitzvot. If they stand together and help one another, all their sins will be forgiven.
The Steps:
