    1. Title: Take a New Fruit

Thus some are accustomed to take a new fruit and when saying the berachah shehecheyanu over it, have in mind that it is also for bedikas chametz. (see: Piskei Teshuvos, volume 5, 432:2)</span></span></span></p>

    2. Title: Lights on or off?

On the first year after I was married, I could not decide what to do in this matter. It was the electric corporation who finally decided the matter for me! When I began bedikas chametz there was power outage, but during the bedikah the power returned. I was thus able to follow both opinions! Since then I have followed this procedure each year, I begin with the electric lights off and then during the course of the bedikah, I turn on the lights.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm -26.2pt 10pt 0cm;" align="left">&nbsp;</p> </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm -26.2pt 10pt 0cm;" align="left">&nbsp;</p>
