Let My Palm Fronds (that's Lulavim) Go

Did you know the U.S. Congress got involved with the shortage of lulavim this year.

And here's the quotation of the chag:-

"I said, 'Let my palm fronds go,' " Rep. Gary L. Ackerman (D-N.Y.) recounted lightheartedly. "We've been using reason and logic and cajoling and friendly persuasion to get them to agree to this. . . . We're trying to avoid the Egyptians from looking like the grinch that stole Sukkot."
