# There is no reason to adorn the house with flowers on Shavuot. The minhag was to adorn the Bet Midrash, around the entire area, or around the bimah in a Shul.<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/957156/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-40-shavuos-customs-flowers-rus-and-akdamos/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #40)]</ref> | # There is no reason to adorn the house with flowers on Shavuot.

# Making early Yom Tov sheni is generally a dispute. Some allow starting Yom Tov Sheni early, while others oppose it so that a person doesn't come to violate preparing from the day of the first day of Yom Tov for the nighttime. Additionally, this year when the second day is Shabbat and there's no concern of preparing because of the Eruv Tavshilin, one can be lenient to start early. With regards to Shavuot there's another factor that perhaps one shouldn't start early the second night of Shavuot since the Kiddush needs to be on the actual date of Shavuot. Most are lenient and allow starting the second day of Shavuot early especially this year when the second day is Shabbat.<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/957152/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-37-the-proper-time-to-daven-maariv-on-the-second-night-of-shavuos/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #37)]</ref> | # Making early Yom Tov sheni is generally a dispute.

==The Three Weeks== | |||
#As with every other year the discussion of shaving during the three weeks is equally relevant. Some are lenient for those who usually shave every day or every few days to shave once it is has been twice the amount of time that they would normally shave.<ref> Rav Shachter (Piskei Corona Tamuz 5780)</ref> Others hold that one may not shave during the three weeks. See [[Three_Weeks#Shaving| here]] for the discussion. | |||
