In this case, you have uttered two names of Hashem in vain and have transgressed the grave sin of reciting a blessing in vain, as per the Halachically Speaking Web site!
Harav Moshe Feinstein ZT”L would make a shehecheyanu every year on tu b’shvat always on Buckser, cause he was positive that he did not have any the entire year since the previous tu b’shvat
Yes –at least on Tu B’Shevat. Rebbetzin told me to make shehecheyanu after ha’etz 🙂
The bugs were probably fresh – and seasonal.
I would say that in the time that Moshe Feinstein lived, perhaps carob was not available year-round like it is now, so he paskened that he should say a shehecheyanu on it. Now that it is available, the psak could have changed.
LB, did she tell you to check for bugs?
Nechomah, it still isn’t (at least I don’t see it). Maybe in E.Y. it is, which is why R’ Elyashiv held not to say it.
Mik5, how are you extrapolating a psak from R’ Elyashiv to other locales when the issue is availability?
McFive, when I was in E”Y a few years ago and my husband asked our Rav a similar question, he told us that we should ask a poseik IN ERETZ YISRAEL.
DY, but guessing that they did so beforehand. The shul served the Tu B’Shevat fruit and foods with the rabbi leading brachot
Were the dates cut open?
. . . as per the Halachically Speaking Web site!
One does not pasken halacha based on websites. That is why one has a Rav.
LB – I wonder if they expected each person to check his own fruit? At my friend’s Seudah, she put out the fruit without checking it and expected each person to check his own. But it’s possible that a shul function is different. I don’t know.
LU. Def don’t think that was the case here. The arrangement was full of bite size foods and precut and/or arranged for snacking.
There was a fruit platter of pre washed grapes. Halved strawberries. I don’t remember what else.
Dried fruits.
Cookies for wheat.
Dried barley as a decoration on the table cloth.
Really beautiful and all ready to eat.
Carobs from what I remember were placed in pieces on the table. I don’t remember if they had whole ones.

What do those have to do with Tu B’Shvat?
The First 12 Fruits of the Seder
“1. Wheat is the basis for our sustenance (see Psalms 81:17, 104:15, 147:14), but only after we labor to grow, harvest and prepare it. (Barley, although not included in the order of the meal, is one of the seven fruits for which Israel is praised. Often used for feeding animals. Its designation for the Omer offering inspires our efforts to harness our animalistic tendencies.)” Chabad
2. Olives
3. Dates
4. Grapes
5. Figs
6. Pomegranates
7. Etrogim
8. Apples
9. Walnuts
10. Almonds
11. Carobs
12. Pears
Barley we could eat hot at home on Tu B’Shevat
Isn’t Tu B’Shvat about trees?
Did you know that when Moshiach comes it is said that all trees will bear fruits?
Even trees that have no fruits today
They will have fruits that we have yet to know
