One Should Not Say Shehehyanu During the Three Weeks

One Should Not Say Shehehyanu During the Three Weeks Day: Wednesday Date: July 23, 2014 Parshat: Mas'ei Yalkut Yosef: 551 During the three weeks we do not say the beracha of shehehyanu. If a person wishes to eat a new fruit or wear a new garment that would require him to say shehehyanu, he should wait until Shabbat and eat the fruit or wear the garment then. During the nine days however one should not wear the new garment even on Shabbat. If one said a beracha on a fruit not realizing that it was a new fruit and then remembered before biting into it, he should say shehehiyanu and then eat from the fruit. One should refrain from saying shehehyanu on the tenth of Av as well. The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org
