After all the soul searching and repentance, and the pleas for forgiveness of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, unbounded joy highlights the celebration of Sukat and Simchat Torah.

Jews strive for all the components of the four species to be the most perfect in form and texture. The Sukat market in Borough Park, Brooklyn is the largest in the New York area, and it caters to a broad spectrum of religious Jews who meticulously inspect each component for the most minute flaws.
