Dear Rabbi Simon
If the pitom [protrusion at the top of the etrog, more correctly known as shoshanta] of my etrog breaks off during hol ha-mo’ed [intermediate days of the festival], is it kosher [ie, valid] to use during the rest of Sukkot?
Many thanks,
Pini
Dear Pini
Yes, you may use it, and recite the berakhah in the usual way, on the other days of the hag.
Best wishes and hag same’ah
Rabbi Rashi Simon
