# According to Sephardim, in order to designate Muktzeh, such as fruit that was put in storage, prior to Yom Tov it is sufficient to designate it for use and it isn't necessary to write which items one is going to use.<ref>The Mishna Beitzah 34a cites a dispute between Rabbi Eliezer and Chachamim if a person needs to write which fruit he is going to use on Yom Tov; Rabbi Eliezer held you can just designate it mentally and Chachamim hold that you need to write it down. What exactly was their dispute about?
* Rashi and Ran understood the dispute between Rabbi Eliezer and Chachamim as discussing berierah. Rabbi Eliezer doesn't hold of berierah and Chachamim do. Meiri (Beitzah 34b) also understands the dispute in this light.
* Tosfot according to Magen Avraham and Sfat Emet understood the dispute about muktzeh. Rabbi Eliezer holds mental preparation is enough to prepare muktzeh, whereas the Chachamim hold that
* Pri Chadash 495:4 argues that the Rambam, Rif, and Rosh hold like Chachamim since otherwise why would the Rif quote the mishna. He explains that their dispute is about whether we're concerned that a person would pick up a fruit and if it wasn't to his liking put it done and end up moving muktzeh unnecessarily (see Beitzah 10b). The Peni Yehoshua 34b agrees with this interpretation of the gemara. Magen Avraham 495:10 mentions this concern though not in explaining the gemara.
* The Yerushalmi Beitzah 1:4 asks that this seems to be at odds with the Mishna Beitzah 10a that Bet Shamay, the teacher of Rabbi Eliezer, hold that an action is necessary to prepare animals so as not to be muktzeh, whereas Rabbi Eliezer holds that it is enough to just verbally prepare it. The Yerushalmi answers that preparing animals is unique and requires an action. Then the Yerushalmi asks why Chachamim hold an action is necessary if Bet Hillel holds an action isn't necessary to prepare muktzeh. Tosfot Beitzah 34b answers that the Mishna 34b was discussing dried fruit which was actively designated not to be eaten on Yom Tov.
* The Rambam (Yom Tov 2:9, Pirush Mishnayot) holds like the Chachamim in the mishna, whereas Rabbenu Yerucham (cited by Bet Yosef 518:9) holds like Rabbi Eliezer. The Bet Yosef 518:9 asks on the Rambam if understood like Rashi he doesn't understand why he was strict if we are lenient on bereirah on derabbanan's. The Rama 495:4 rules like Rabbenu Yerucham that it isn't necessary to designate muktzeh with an action and it is enough to prepare it verbally. Magen Avraham 495:10 questions the Rama because the Tosfot would be strict on muktzeh that was designated not to be used.
* See Korban Ha'edah and Peni Moshe on Yerushalmi (Beitzah 1:4) and Peni Yehoshua (Beitzah 34b) understand the Yerushalmi and Tosfot as discussing bereirah unlike the Magen Avraham.
* In any event, the Mishna Brurah 495:22 writes that we should be strict for the Magen Avraham at least by dried fruit and there is what to rely upon for dried put away for storage. Kaf Hachaim 495:37 is initially strict for the Magen Avraham.</ref>
