Turn your

Esrog after
Sukkos into
a long
lasting
B’samim for
your
Havdalah!
 Take your
Esrog and
puncture a
line of vertical
holes using a
metal fork.
Then simply
fill the holes
with whole
cloves.
You’ll
probably need
two small
containers or
one large
container of
cloves per
Esrog.
 It does require a bit
of physical strength
to force the fork in
far enough so you
can insert the cloves.

It’s a good idea to

rock the fork back &
forth in order to
widen the hole.
Thereby making it
easier to insert the
cloves.
 Pushing the cloves can hurt the tips of
your fingers after a while, so one should
not figure on finishing this project in
one sitting. It takes approximately 45
minutes to an hour total to do an entire
Esrog.
 The Esrog will shrink when exposed to the air, hardening the Esrog and locking in the
cloves so tightly that they’ll never fall out. You’ll have the B‘samim for years to come.
A nice idea is to keep the Esrog in a container that also has your Hadasim leaves. Even
after the Hadasim dry out, as the leaves break open they emit a very nice smell.

Rav Ami and Rav Asi, when they would find a piece of bread used for an Eiruv (Chaztairos), they would make a Hamotzie on it. They said “Since
one Mitzvah was done with it, let us do another” (with it).
