The company has come up with an innovative and practical solution to help one carry all the things he needs on Sukkot. These include the four species (which are taken to the synagogue daily), the tallit, and the siddur.
“The new Jewish gadget is a product that grew out of a deep and tangible need in the Jewish world,” explained Ehud Natan Mor of Kanfot Hadar. “Anyone who, during Sukkot, has ever held the four species and has taken them to synagogue along with the tallit and the siddur, has felt how difficult, cumbersome, and how uncomfortable it is. Things fall, break, and are disqualified from a halakhic point of view.”
It was out of this need that Kanfot Hadar came up with the four species kit, explained Natan Mor.
“The kit brings a practical solution to this complication and on the other hand maintains what we are required to do: to keep the glory and splendor of Sukkot,” he said.

Packed in the bag, it looks like a rifle. I’m sure that will go over well in New York, and good luck getting on an airplane.
If there are a few ehrliche yidden out there who will pay a few hundred dollars for an esrog, they will obivously have the money to burn on this kind of gimick as well. There is always some yid who has to have the best of everything (whether chulent made from Kobe beef with Eida hasghacha) or a high tech arba mimin box, but of course ego cloaked in the name of “hidur mitzvah”.
Oh please the esrog held by a magnate? Not my esrog!
seems very complicated
Shows just how lazy people have become.
complete nonsense, who needs this.
I never realized how difficult it was all these years. I just went to shul with everything. Thank heavens I know realize just how difficult it is for all us yidden and I’ll be the first to run out and pick this up. Maybe not. It actually looks uncomfortable to carry. Gosh I hope someone didn’t invest their life savings into this.
Oh brother. Even if I had the money to pay for this mishigas, shouldn’t I spend it on tzedakah?
Impractical. Where do you set up this contraption once you’re in shul? And what do you do now with the $1,500 silver esrog box you demanded from your shver? And what if your lulav is taller than the tower? And what if you wear tefilin during Chol HaMoed? Where does that go?
Will us fathers of daughters need to buy one, engraved with name, for our chasanim?
Don’t even think of redding us a shidduch if he doesn’t use one of these!
We need this like the pre-filled chanuka oil candles (with hasgacha of course, except not from the fire department). Did you ever notice how many of these “mitzvah” products are made in CHINA? Even Shabbos candles from many”heimishe” companies are made in China. We should buy products made in Israel when possible.
some poor guy obviously spent his life savings coming up with this gadget. poor guy.
The pieces of the kit are connected via strong magnets. Is it mutar to “break a magnetic field” on shabbos/yom tov which is what you would be doing when taking the esrog or the lulav portions of the kit off the baseplate.
most esrog boxes are too small to hold a regular size esrog, and now imagine a lullav holder you would have to trim the lullav etc. to fit it into the holder.
Very interesting and creative.
Just beware of the ‘missle-like’ look of the ‘Lulav’ holder.
The Israeli government and media might brand it ‘incitement’ because
it looks like a missile (Of course to be used against our Arab ‘brethren’ or the govt. itself!).
For the designer to make a few bucks!
Lol
nothing against the guy, but this is kind of a stretch.
