TAGS:shmitta | Halacha - Lulav after succos | | Submitted by Shmuel Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: Shalom! I kept the lulav from this chag because i wasn't sure whats the right way to dispose of it. are there any considerations to follow concerning shmita or the 4 minim still have kedushah after chag? thanks for the wonderful service shmuel
| | Answer:
It is accepted by the majority of the Poskim that the esrog is the only of the 4 minim to have Kedushas Shmitta issues. The other three may be wrapped and thrown away, but should not be placed in a dirty garbage can unwrapped as it is a disgrace to the mitzva. The minhag, however, is to use them for another mitzva such as burning the chometz. The esrog must be disposed of before Shvat either by leaving it to rot naturally or by placing it in the garbage at least double wrapped.
