Top Ten Lulav/Esrog Shaking Techniques
10. The Sarah Palin Shake - no experience necessary. Just look good and wink a lot while shaking.
9. The Tzippi Livni Shake - Kadima! Kadima! Kadima!
8. The Ahmadinejad Shake - gather all the parts to shake (esrog, lulav, hadasim, aravot), threaten to shake, then insist it's not for shaking at all
7. The Philadelphia Phillies Shake - take lulav and hit your esrog over the mechitza.
6. The Wall Street Shake - completely drop your esrog, break its pitom and everyone else's, then beg for new ones, ideally from the communal building fund
5. The Obama Shake - shake it towards the left, and then bring it towards the right, if anyone in the audience is pro-Israel
3. The McCain Shake - shake it towards the right, but bring it hard left if anyone mentions Bush
2. The Joe Biden Shake - do whatever, no one seems to care.
1. The Dow Shake - Shake up and down, then down again, then down a whole lot more. The key is to make sure no one has any clue which way you'll shake next.
