Rabbi Shlomo Riskin
Sukkot

Since the first day of the Festival of Sukkot falls out on the Sabbath, we do not bring the four species (citron, palm branch, myrtle and willow), raise them and wave them in all six directions, in thanksgiving to the Almighty for the vegetation of the holy land of Israel on the celebration of the ingathering of the produce of our fields (Leviticus 23: 39,40). This is similar to the Festival of Rosh Hashana which also fell out on the Sabbath, and we did not sound the shofar despite the Biblical command, "a day of the shaky, staccato sound (t'ruah) shall (Rosh Hashana) be for you " (Numbers 29:1).
