העושה לולב לעצמו, אומר: ״ברוך ... שהחיינו וקיימנו והגיענו לזמן הזה״. נטלו לצאת בו, אומר: ״ברוך ... אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו על נטילת לולב״. ואף על פי שבירך עליו יום ראשון, חוזר ומברך כל שבעה. העושה סוכה לעצמו, אומר: ״ברוך ... שהחיינו וקיימנו כו׳״, נכנס לישב בה, אומר: ״אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו לישב בסוכה״, וכיון שבירך יום ראשון — שוב אינו מברך.
One who prepares a lulav for himself, but not one who prepares for others, recites when preparing it on the eve of the Festival: Blessed…Who has given us life, sustained us, and brought us to this time. When he takes it during the Festival in order to fulfill his obligation, he says: Blessed…Who sanctified us with His mitzvot and commanded us concerning the taking of a lulav. And even though he recited the blessing over the lulav on the 1st day of the Festival, he repeats and recites the blessing over the lulav all 7 days when fulfilling the mitzva. One who establishes a sukka for himself recites: Blessed…Who has given us life, sustained us, and brought us to this time. When he enters to sit in the sukka, he recites: “Blessed…Who has sanctified us with His mitzvot and commanded us to reside in the sukka. And once he recited the blessing on the 1st day, he no longer recites it on the rest of the days, as all 7 days are considered a single unit.
