Note 94 — II. OUR DUTIES. (continued 4)

On Sabbath the lulabh is not taken, because it might be necessary to carry it from place to place through the street (‏רשות הרבים‎), and this is forbidden (see Mishnah, Shabbath i. 1 and vii. 2). For the same reason the shofar is not blown on the first day of New-year, if it happens to fall on Saturday. In the Temple, however, there was no occasion for the above apprehension; the lulabh was therefore taken and the shofar was blown on Sabbath (Mishnah, Succah iv. 1, and Rosh ha-shanah iv. 1). ↑
