Top of the evening to all...
For those who do not know, it is a custom during the holiday of Sukkot to take the Four Species, commonly known as a lulav. The four species include myrtle branches. In Hebrew, the myrtle is called 'hadas.'
Apparently, there was a shortage of hadasim this year. They searched high. They searched low. They could not find any. One frustrated merchant was heard to say the following:
.אין כל הדס תחת השמש
I would like to apologize for this joke. As well, if you are not a Hebrew speaker, please know that I am unable to render this pun in English.
Have a good evening.
