People Who May Eat New Fruits During the Three Weeks

People Who May Eat New Fruits During the Three Weeks
Day: Thursday
Date: July 24, 2014
Parshat: Mas'ei
Yalkut Yosef: 551


A new fruit that may not be available for shehehyanu after Tisha Be'av may be eaten during the three weeks with a shehehyanu. If possible it should be saved and the beracha should be made on Shabbat. More exceptions to the rule against saying shehehyanu during the three weeks are a sick person, a pregnant woman who craves such a fruit, and a child who is too young to understand the significance of the three weeks. If a person accidentally ate a new fruit without saying shehehyanu he should stop eating and save it until after Tisha Be'av and say shehehyanu then.
