# Fruits served as an appetizer requires a separate Bracha unless the fruit is known to whet one’s appetite. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 77, chapter 8) in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman, see what he writes about Rav Elyashiv’s opinion on page 288, Birur 13(2):6. </ref> Citrus fruits such as grapefruit are assumed to be eaten to whet one’s appetite whereas sweet fruits such as melon require a Bracha. However, some hold that even sweet fruits don’t require a bracha if eaten as an appetizer and therefore advise to exempt it by eaten a fresh fruit not being used as an appetizer or to have a fruit less than a [[Kezayit]] prior to a meal with intent to cover the fruit during the meal. <Ref>Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 93-4, chapter 5) writes that Rav Shlomo Zalman holds that a Bracha is required, whereas Rav Elyashiv argues. Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani Brachot p. 168) writes that fruit appetizers don't require a bracha since they whet a person's appetite. Or Letzion 2:46:15 agrees with Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach. </ref> | # Fruits served as an appetizer requires a separate Bracha unless the fruit is known to whet one’s appetite. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 77, chapter 8) in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman, see what he writes about Rav Elyashiv’s opinion on page 288, Birur 13(2):6. </ref> Citrus fruits such as grapefruit are assumed to be eaten to whet one’s appetite whereas sweet fruits such as melon require a Bracha.

# If one has fruit as one’s main meal no Bracha is required for the fruit.

* The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:28) at first has a doubt about someone who establishes a meal on fruit whether the fruit is considered a food which is brought because of the meal or not and decides that it makes sense that it is considered like food brought as part of the meal and doesn’t require a Bracha. The Rosh then brings a proof to this from the Yerushalmi. This is also the ruling of the Tur 177:3 and Ritva ([[Brachot]] 41b) that if one establishes one’s meal on fruit the fruit is covered even if one doesn’t eat it with bread. | * The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:28) at first has a doubt about someone who establishes a meal on fruit whether the fruit is considered a food which is brought because of the meal or not and decides that it makes sense that it is considered like food brought as part of the meal and doesn’t require a Bracha.

* [The Mordechai ([[Brachot]] Siman 135, quoted by Bet Yosef 177:3) agrees with the Rosh but adds that it’s preferable to make a Bracha on a fruit first in order to exempt the fruit in the meal. The Halacha Brurah (Birur Halacha 177:17) explains that the Mordechai means that one should have fruit before the meal, make a Bracha on it and have in mind to exempt the other fruit in the meal.] | * [The Mordechai ([[Brachot]] Siman 135, quoted by Bet Yosef 177:3) agrees with the Rosh but adds that it’s preferable to make a Bracha on a fruit first in order to exempt the fruit in the meal.

* However, the Rabbenu Yonah (29b s.v.

* S”A 177:3 rules that if one made fruit as one’s main meal the Bracha on the bread covers the fruit even if one eats the fruit without bread. However, because some argue it’s preferable to eat a little of the fruit with bread and then continue to eat fruit without bread. | * S”A 177:3 rules that if one made fruit as one’s main meal the Bracha on the bread covers the fruit even if one eats the fruit without bread.

* The language of Shulchan Aruch sounds like even according to the first opinion it is necessary to eat the fruit with bread in the beginning or the end. This is explicit in the Taz 177:2 and Birkat Hashem 2:10:75. However, Halacha Brurah 177:14 and Vezot Habracha (p. 77) explain Shulchan Aruch to mean that it isn't necessary to eat any of it with bread. | |||
* Beiur Halacha (D”H Tov) explains that when one eats bread with the fruit in order to exempt the fruit one should ate a significant amount and not just a taste. This is also the opinion of Halacha Brurah 177:14. </ref> | * Beiur Halacha (D”H Tov) explains that when one eats bread with the fruit in order to exempt the fruit one should ate a significant amount and not just a taste.
