Ein Ayah: There are things in the world that even though they seem secondary to something else and unimportant, they actually have a lot of impact on the main entity to the extent that without them, one would not receive any benefit from the main one. Therefore, we should not be surprised when seemingly external and ancillary matters grab a prominent place in the world. This is even though the main, internal things are the foundation of life in this world. Still had nature not worked on them with the help of the ancillary things, we would never gain from the main entity.
Regarding an etrog, radish, and egg, the inside is the main part, as that is where the nutrition comes for man. But they would not be worthwhile to eat if they would never leave the intestines. Therefore, their peels, which eventually allow them to be expelled from the intestines, brings the value that dwells in their midst.
This teaches a general rule for several things in the material world and the spiritual elements of the world – the contribution of minor things is major to lead the way for the main things, as we find for the etrog, radish, and egg.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
