For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Translated from Mekor Chaim Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:
1. From the basis of Halacha, one who sees his/her friend
after 30 days says the Beracha of Shehecheyanu.
One says the Beracha of Mechaye HaMetim in
a situation where he/she sees his/her friend that makes him/her extremely happy
after 12 months. However, today we have the minhag
(custom) not to say the Beracha of Shehecheyanu with Hashem’s name (rather we
say “Baruch Shehecheyanu VeKiyimanu…”) because if one sees a friend he/she does
not particularly like then they say Shehecheyanu with Hashem’s name on purpose
to hide this lack of love. Also to say the Beracha with Hashem’s name is
obvious regarding close relatives (father, mother, brotherm sister). If one has
not seen their friend 12 months but has received letters or knowledge of their
well being in between this time, this person does not say the Beracha of
Shehecheyanu when meeting them.
2. One who sees a new fruit he/she hasn’t seen yet this year
(since Rosh HaShanah) and it comes into the market every year only during its
season (or only twice a year), says the Beracha of Shehecheyanu each time.
Because it is taught that we say Shehecheyanu on a fruit that is seen from time
to time and not year to year, we can say the Beracha regarding a fruit that
comes into the market twice a year.
