According to halacha, if one has enough aged wine to use for either Simchat Yom Tov or kiddush (and one would have to use non aged wine for the other mitzvah), which mitzvah has priority for using the aged wine as hiddur

According to this mi yodeya answer, the chatam sofer zt’’l ruled jews can be kicked out of am yisrael. is this an accurate representation, if so what sugyah is the chatam sofer basing it on? does it not contradict the talmud/gemara in sanhedrin?

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?

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?

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?

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

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.

According to Halacha: A) can a Seudat Brit be combined with Seudat Yom Tov or Seudat Shabbat? B) can the bread for it be Pat Palter or Pat Akum?

The Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 25 rules you should put a Tallit on before tefillin, this is based on the principle of Tadir, mitzvot which are more common take precedence, generally. However, if one holds that a tallit made of material which is neither wool nor linen is only rabbinically obligated in Tzitzit, then which comes first, the Tallit or tefillin, as tefillin are a biblical law and this view holds that this Tallit is only a rabbinic law.

According to Halacha, can fruits/spices from an Orlah tree be used for havdalah besamim
