Question
According to Halacha, if you make besamim at Havdalah on plants from a budding fruit tree in Nissan, which blessing comes first, Birkat Ha’ilonot, or besamim? Does the principle of Tadir play a role here, and besamim is more common than Birkat Ha’ilonot so it’s recited first?

Question
When it comes to besamim at havdalah a) can it be recited over besamim which are still on the plants themselves on the ground b) can they be “pagum” like wine when used, if so can they be un pagumed like you can add wine to a kiddush cup

Question
By Halacha, is Lashon harah about noahides prohibited? I ask partially since I recently saw two older (jewish) individuals who I recall face to face confronted (aggressively) a young gentile who tried wearing a kittel to a Yom Kippur service I attended (he apparently had permission from the rabbi of the shul, so they were offended and I believe gossiped until they forced him to take it off lest he be kicked out), was such behavior against Halacha?

Question
As follow up, I thought for havdalah drink and the drink for Saturday kiddush, a chamar Medina (such as etrog liqueur) is permitted (not for Friday evening shabbat). Secondly, is the principle of using a mitzvah object for another mitzvah an optional mitzvah, a chiyuv, or merely a minhag?

Question
The Talmud/gemara in I believe Shabbat 117b states you should use something for a mitzvah for another mitzvah. Would using leftover etrogim from Sukkot to make wine for kiddush and havdalah fall under this category?

Question
Do any poskim rule as a matter of Halacha that Spices from kedushat sheviit plants should be prioritized to be used in Havdalah for besamim, I could see it being a form of hiddur mitzvah

Question
According to Halacha, should you say shecheyanu before eating Kedushat Shevi’it the first time in a Shemitta cycle, or no? I ask because there is a concept of reciting Shecheyanu before rare mitzvot, such as Lulav and shofar. However, I don’t know if Kedushat Shevi’it is the same in this regard, as there is a while it can be eaten.
