Translated from Yalkut Yosef:
1. It is forbidden to prepare on Shabbat for the weekday
(for example Shabbat afternoon for Motzei Shabbat) because this shows a
belittlement of the respect of Shabbat. Even if it is something that does not
involve doing melacha (an action that
is forbidden to do on Shabbat), such as cleaning pots and pans on Shabbat for
the weekday, is forbidden on Shabbat.
2. Because there is a prohibition to plant on Shabbat, when
people are eating a Shabbat meal in their garden they may not do netillat yadayim on the plants or seeds
on the ground. Even though they do not have the intention to plant or help in
the planting process, in any case this definitely causes the plants/seeds to
grow more efficiently. Even in someone else’s garden (and not only yours) this
is forbidden as well.
3. Fruits that are known to be infested with worms need to
be opened up and checked in order to say on them the proper blessing. Caution is
needed over and over again in regards to check fro worms because to eat them is
a severe forbidden act and one who swallows one is punished for violating FIVE
Torah prohibitions. On top of that, eating a worm by accident causes one’s soul
to become dirty and promotes an impure lifestyle in their service of Hashem.
4. There are those who have the custom to make etrog jam and eat it during Tu Bishvat
and these people should not say the sheheheyanu
blessing on it because when they said it on Hag Sukkot they already fulfilled
the obligation to say it. However, a woman says sheheheyanu on eating an etrog during Tu Bishvat because she does
not say sheheheyanu on Hag Sukkot on
the etrog (because she does not shake the Lulav).
Shabbat Shalom &
Tu Bishvat Sameah!
