The "Sukkot" (Tabernacles) Papercut - Work 17

The central element of this papercut represents the lulav  - one of the "four kinds" - used daily throughout the festival of Tabernacles. The text encapsulating the work is the Torah reading on the first day of the festival and reads:  

"And you shall take on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. And you shall keep it a feast to the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations." Leviticus Chapter 23:40-41.
