# During the Three Weeks, one should not buy any clothes which would obligate one to make a Shehecheyanu. <ref>S"A 551:17, Mishna Brurah 551:99 | # During the Three Weeks, one should not buy any clothes which would obligate one to make a Shehecheyanu. <ref>S"A 551:17 writes that it is good not to make a Shecheyanu on a new fruit or new clothing during the Three Weeks. | ||
* The Bach 551 writes that because of avoiding situations which would obligate Shecheyanu one shouldn't buy or wear new clothing during the Three Weeks. Kaf HaChaim 551:210 agrees. Mishna Brurah 551:99 only writes that one shouldn't wear the new clothing (and doesn't write not to buy the new clothing). | |||
* Although the Bear Mayim Chaim 7 writes that the only issue is not to make the bracha of Shecheyanu, however, one may eat a new fruit and just not make Shecheyanu, the Maamer Mordechai 551:14 rejects this idea and doesn't allow eating the new fruit. The Mishna Brurah 551:99 and Kaf HaChaim 551:207 agree with the Maamer Mordechai. </ref> | |||

# Because one shouldn’t make a Shehecheyanu, one shouldn’t eat a new fruit or wear a new clothing because these actions require a Shehecheyanu. <Ref> Sh”t Chaim Shal O”C 7 and Ketonet Yosef 11 (quoted in Kaf HaChaim 551:207) writes that even though one can’t make a [[Shehecheyanu]] during the 3 weeks, one can eat a new fruit or wear new clothes without a Bracha. However, the Sefer Chasidim 840, Shaarei Knesset HaGedolah 551:52, Bach 551e, Maamer Mordechai 551:14, Yometz Ometz 56, Bear Heitev 551:20, and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 122:2 write that one is not allowed to have a new fruit during the three weeks without a Bracha, since having a new fruit requires a Bracha and it can’t be made during the three weeks. Birkei Yosef 551:12, Shaare Teshuva 551:38, Kaf Hachayim 551:215 say that a shehecheyanu may be recited if by mistake the Borei pri haetz was already said over a new fruit. </Ref> A new fruit that will not be available after the Three Weeks may be eaten and a shehecheyanu recited. <ref> Rama OC 551:17 </ref> | # Because one shouldn’t make a Shehecheyanu, one shouldn’t eat a new fruit or wear a new clothing because these actions require a Shehecheyanu. <Ref> Sh”t Chaim Shal O”C 7 and Ketonet Yosef 11 (quoted in Kaf HaChaim 551:207) writes that even though one can’t make a [[Shehecheyanu]] during the 3 weeks, one can eat a new fruit or wear new clothes without a Bracha.
