Major Question: The גמרא דף מג concluded that Aravah was בנטילה – everyone waved the Aravos each day of Sukkos in the Beis Hamikdash and the זכר למקדש replicates the way it was performed in the Beis Hamikdash & on דף מד the aravos were taken when encircling the Mizbaich.

Why is our minhag to walk around the bima each day of Sukkos with the set of Daled Minim one time and on Hoshana Rabbah seven times. We should be holding aravos as they did in the Beis Hamikdash when they circled the Mizbaich? See בית יוסף & ב”ח סעיף ג https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14268&st=&pgnum=595
