Quote:There is a holiday, about 6 months from now called "Sukkot", where the religious Jews will be buying palm branches and join them with 2 other species (plus a fruit called an "etrog") and will wave them every morning, for a week (except on Shabbat), and cry out "hoshannah...(some praise to God)...hoshannah. Hoshannah...(a different praise to God)...hoshannah...etc."
Do the haredim expect a government subsidy for that, too? Seems like a fairly pointless exercise, doesn't it?
