How should one handle the Shehecheyanu blessing when presented with several new fruits?
If one has several new fruits before them, they should make the Shehecheyanu blessing on one fruit and this covers the rest.
However, if one had a single new fruit and made a blessing on it, and afterward was presented with another new fruit, they must recite Shehecheyanu again [Yalkut Yosef Siman 225].
If wine and dates are placed before someone, which takes precedence?
When wine and dates are presented, one may give precedence to whichever they prefer since their blessings are different (Chazon Ovadia p. 276).
New fruit or fruit of the Seven Species, which takes precedence?
