Daled Minim experts in the Holy Land have once again warned the public of lulavim that have been treated with acrylic glue to prevent opening. Inspectors have found that a significant number of lulavim have undergone aprocess of being soaked in a bath containing “an acrylic adhesive.”
The Chief Rabbinate, in the past, has said that there are different opinions amongst religious authorities regarding whether lulavs that underwent this kind of “treatment” are kosher. Merchants who sell these lulavim are required to make “full disclosure” to the customer regarding the use of the glue.
