Question
What is the ruling on an etrog from which the pitom has fallen off?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Regarding the first day of the festival, the etrog is certainly invalid. As for the other days of the festival, it depends on the dispute: according to the Sephardic custom, it is permissible to take it and bless over it on the other days, while according to the Ashkenazi custom, the etrog is invalid.
