Produce of Israel

The Land of Eretz Yisroel is imbued with special holiness. The Torah emphasizes the holiness of the land through a number of mitzvos that are exclusive to its produce.

These mitzvos include Sheviis (Shemittah), Terumos, Maaseros and Bikurim. Rav Avraham Danzig zt”l in his introduction to Shaare Tzedek, a sefer that deals specifically with the laws of Eretz Yisroel, writes that one of the primary reasons for writing his sefer was to prepare himself for his planned move to Eretz Yisroel. “Should a person walk into the courtyard of the king and be oblivious to the laws and customs of his palace – surely that person risks the death penalty.”

Today, even if we are not able to live in Eretz Yisroel, we can still partake in its produce. Global economies of the 21 st Century have allowed us the opportunity to enjoy this produce from acro ss the Ocean. One need not go further than the local supermarket or fruit and vegetable store to find a selection of imported Israeli fruits and vegetables. Certainly, it is our duty to familiarize ourselves with these laws so that we treat this produce in the appropriate manner.

For this reason, COR recently posted a video to help consumers with hafrashas terumos and maaseros. With more and more produce from Israel on the market, our hope is that the video will be helpful in ensuring that a relatively simple, but critical process is executed properly.

You can watch the video from our website at the following link:
