**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
*“L’chu lachmu v’lachmi u’shetu b’yayin masakhti* (Come eat of my bread and drink of the wine that I have mixed)” (Proverbs 9:5). The first letters of *L’chu Lachmu V’Lachmi U’shetu* spell *LULaV* (לולב). *B’yayin* (ביין), with its four letters, has a numerical value (76) equivalent to that of the first letters of *etrog* (אתרוג), *hadas* (הדס) and *aravah* (ערבה); and *maSaKhTi*is similar to SuKkoT. By fulfilling the *mitzvot* of the Four Species and *sukkah,* a person is rewarded with food, drink, clothing and a revived spirit. Through the *mitzvah* of *sukkah*he merits clothing, as in “When I made a cloud its garment” (Job 38:9). By virtue of the willow branch he merits sufficient drink; through the myrtle branch he brings vitality to the soul; and through the palm tree and the citron tree, both of which bear edible fruit, he merits having enough to eat.
