	Etrog, Sorel
		Etrog, Sorel, sculptor, writer, philosopher (b at Iasi, Romania 29 Aug 1933).
		Etrog has important private and public commissions to his credit, some of which, such as Ritual Head (Calgary, 1976), are monumental in scale.
		Crafted predominantly in bronze and more recently in rolled sheet metal, Etrog's sculptures are reminiscent of the structures of the human body or of the massive bolts and hinges of heavy machinery, always suggesting a latent potential for movement.

	suk63mt
		Even though hadar is written concerning etrog, it is quite logical to extend the requirement to all four minim since it describes the performance of the mitzva.
		If an etrog completely lacks hadar (for example, if it is dry), then even though it is the botanically correct species, it is not considered to be it a valid etrog.
		In the case of etrog, however, hadar plays two functions: it defines the species, and it also describes the manner in which the mitzva should be performed.
