Etrog (Hebrew: ?????) is one of several varieties of citron, a citrus fruit of the orange and lemon family (Citrus medica var. Etrog). It is one of the Four Species used in a special waving ceremony during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. The Festival of Sukkot begins on the fifth day after Yom Kippur at the end of the High Holidays. It is a transition from one of the most solemn holidays in the year to one of the most joyous. Sukkot is so unreservedly joyful that it is commonly referred to in Jewish prayer and literature as the Season of our Rejoicing.
