Q. Can you use artificial plastic plants and flowers for Shavuos decorations?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that although they may evoke some remembrance for the different reasons mentioned in placing flowers and plants on Shavuos, they may also fall short and seem miserly or even disdainful. Then again, there may be other factors involved and a local Rabbi should be consulted.
