Sukkah 42: Lulav As a Weapon (of Mass Confusion)

The next day everyone rises early and comes to the Temple, and the attendants throw the lulavim before them. And in the confusion, the people snatch the lulavim and in the process strike one another. And when the court saw that they came to potential danger, they instituted that each and every person will take his lulav in his house and fulfill the mitzva there.

Thinking about how beis din had to rearrange the order due to concerns for people bashing each other with their lulavs!!!

This got me thinking about the hagiographical legends about brotherly love that formed the basis for the site of the temple…
