While you were enjoying your summer and Sukkos was the furthest thing from your mind, esrog sochrim (dealers) were cutting Yanover esrogim in Italy.

Italian rabbonim and shluchim and veterans esrog inspectors, Rabbi Moshe Lazar and Rabbi Shmuel Rodal, are seen here, verifying that the esrogim aren’t murkav (grafted) with other fruit.

Despite the recent saga of stolen esrogim, there are plenty of esrogim left, and no shortage is expected this year.
