I have for many years dealt with the subject of the four species of Leviticus 23:40, and how they are understood in rabbinic interpretation. This discussion is closely tied to Nehemiah 8:15, a verse that some argue means that the four species mentioned in Lev 23 are to be used for building the sukkah. This is the Karaite and Samaritan understanding, but I want to point out some things before people reject the traditional rabbinic interpretation. I will admit that there are problems with the rabbinic opinion, but there are fewer issues with it than the Karaite/Samaritan opinion.
