Consumer products from Israel that are exported to the American marketplace include Jaffa oranges, grapefruits, pomelos, clementines, carrots, parsley, Carmel and canned tomatoes, peppers, candies, jams, jellies, olives and pickled products. Industrial products used for manufacturing include tomato sauce, tomato paste, orange oil, lemon oil and spices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides for all the ingredients and processing concerns which confront the kosher consumer, additional kashrus requirements apply to foods grown, produced or imported from Israel. A consumer must be sure that <i>terumos<\/i> and <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i> have been properly separated before eating, and that the fruits do not come from trees that are <i>orla<\/i> or <i>neta revai<\/i> or <i>shemita.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What Are <i>Terumos<\/i> and <i>Ma\u2019asros<\/i>?<\/b> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Terumos<\/i> (literally, separations) and <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i> (literally, a tenth) were compulsory gift portions of grains, fruits and vegetables grown in Eretz Yisroel. Some of the separated tithed foods had to be given to the Kohanim and Leviim, some had to be brought to Yerushalayim for consumption, and some had to be given to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> What Are <i>Orla<\/i> and <i>Neta Revai<\/i>?<\/b> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first three years of a tree\u2019s growth or for the first three years after a tree is replanted, the fruit born of those years are known as <i>orla<\/i> and are not allowed to be eaten or used for any other purpose (a<i>ssurim b&#8217;hana&#8217;ah<\/i>). Fruits born the year after <i>orla<\/i> also have a special status and were to be eaten only in <i>Yerushalayim<\/i> unless they were redeemed. These fourth year fruits are known halachically as <i>neta revai<\/i>. These restrictions are still maintained today. Detailed maps of thousands of Israeli orchards are kept so that the trees can be monitored in order that <i>orla<\/i> and <i>neta revai<\/i> fruits will not be consumed in error. <i>Orla<\/i> is also applicable in the Diaspora, however the halacha states that one must know that this fruit that was grown outside Eretz Yisroel is definitely <i>orla<\/i>. If one is in doubt, this fruit is permitted.<a href=\"#footnote\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of the fact that we do not have a Beis Hamikdash today, or that we, as a nation, are not fully settled in Eretz Yisroel, one of the most critical <i>mitzvos hatluyos ba\u2019aretz<\/i>, the special mitzvos of Eretz Yisroel that our <i>Chachamim<\/i> (Sages) have instituted and implemented in our days, is the requirement that the kosher consumer, both in Eretz Yisroel and in the Diaspora, remove the proper required <i>terumos<\/i> and <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i> before eating the grains, fruits and vegetables grown and produced in Eretz Yisroel and combined into other manufactured products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What Has to Be Separated?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the six-year cycle prior to <i>shemita<\/i>, the year of the Biblically ordained agricultural rest, the following is separated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i> \u25baTeruma Gedola<\/i><\/b> &#8211; the portion given to the <i>kohanim<\/i>, the priests. Due to <i>terumos<\/i>\u2019 sanctified nature, the <i>Kohen<\/i> could only eat <i>teruma<\/i> in a state of <i>tahara<\/i>, purity. Since the <i>kohanim<\/i> are in a state of <i>tuma<\/i>, impurity, today, the <i>teruma<\/i> remains uneaten and is to be discarded properly by wrapping the food in plastic before throwing it away. According to <i>Torah<\/i> law, one fulfills his <i>teruma<\/i> obligation with even a small amount of food separation.<br><b><i> \u25baMa\u2019aser Rishon<\/i><\/b> &#8211; the first tithe that was separated and given to the <i>Leviim<\/i>. <i>Ma\u2019aser rishon<\/i> does not carry the same sanctity as <i>teruma<\/i>, and can be eaten by everyone. Even though there is some uncertainty regarding bona fide Levitical lineages, we are still obligated to verbally separate the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i>. If <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> was never separated, then this food has a status of <i>tevel<\/i>, unseparated, which is forbidden to be eaten. Once separated, a <i>Yisroel<\/i> may eat this <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i>. We did not give the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> to a <i>Levi<\/i> unless we were certain that the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> was never given.<br><b><i> \u25baTerumas Ma\u2019aser<\/i><\/b> &#8211; from the separated <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>rishon<\/i> donation, the <i>Levi<\/i> was obligated to donate 1\/10 of the gross <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> to the <i>Kohen<\/i>. This gift, called <i>terumas<\/i> <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i>, has the same degree of <i>kedusha<\/i> (sanctity) as <i>teruma<\/i>. According to Torah law, we have been given an exact amount of donation which is 1\/10 of the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i>, or approximately 1\/100 of the total product. If <i>terumas<\/i> <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> was not separated, then the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>rishon<\/i> is considered <i>tevel<\/i> and would be forbidden to be eaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, two other tithes alternated through the six-year Sabbatical cycle:<br><br>\u25ba<b><i>Ma\u2019aser Sheini <\/i><\/b>&#8211; the second tithe separated on produce harvested in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th years of the Sabbatical cycle. This tithed portion was brought to Jerusalem to be eaten. If the owner of the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>sheini<\/i> lived too far away from Jerusalem to carry the actual produce, he was permitted to transfer the <i>kedusha<\/i>, sanctity of the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>sheini<\/i> onto money. This money was brought either by himself or by other Jewish pilgrims to Jerusalem to purchase food and drink during their stay in Jerusalem. Since we have a <i>halachic<\/i> provision permitting the transfer of <i>kedushas<\/i> <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>sheini<\/i> onto coinage, we follow the same procedures today, transferring the sanctity of <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>sheini<\/i> onto coins. Once the <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i> is transferred, the coins are disposed of in an appropriate manner.<br>\u25ba<b><i>Ma\u2019aser Oni <\/i><\/b>&#8211; on the third and sixth years this tithe was substituted for the <i>ma\u2019aser sheini <\/i>separation, and was given to the poor. Today, that separation must be donated to them as well, if one is certain that this product never had <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> <i>oni<\/i> separated. If one is in doubt about the separation of <i>ma\u2019aser oni<\/i>, one is still obligated to separate this <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i> but need not give it to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one last, special tithe offered in a tree&#8217;s fourth year of growth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25ba<b><i>Neta Revai<\/i><\/b> &#8211; is a category of special separation not related to the <i>shemita<\/i> cycle, but linked to the growth cycle of fruit trees. When a tree reached its fourth year of growth, the fruits were brought to <i>Yerushalayim<\/i>\u2013much like <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i>. The procedure governing the transfer of <i>revai<\/i> onto coins is similar to <i>ma\u2019aser sheini.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary of the Halachos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the pertinent <i>hafrashos<\/i> (separation amounts) are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i><b>Teruma Gedola<\/b><\/i><i> &#8211; <\/i>a small amount, to be discarded properly by wrapping in plastic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i><b>Ma\u2019aser Rishon<\/b><\/i><i> &#8211; <\/i>1\/10 of the total after <i>teruma<\/i> has been given (stipulated, not physically separated).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i><b>Terumas Ma\u2019aser<\/b><\/i><i> &#8211; <\/i>1\/10 of the <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i>, i.e. approximately 1\/100 of the total products, to be separated and discarded in the same manner as <i>teruma gedola<\/i>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i><b>Ma\u2019aser Shaini<\/b> &#8211; <\/i>1\/10 of the remaining product whose <i>kedusha<\/i> can be transferred onto a coin which should be specifically set aside for <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i> transfer. One\u2019s separated piece of food needs to be at least a <i>peruta\u2019s<\/i> (about five cents) worth of food for the transfer to work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i><b>Ma\u2019aser Oni<\/b><\/i><i> &#8211; <\/i>1\/10 of the remaining product in the third and sixth year of the cycle when <i>ma\u2019aser shaini<\/i> is not given.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Is there a way to separate <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i> if the piece of food separated is worth less than a <i>peruta<\/i>?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! This separation can be accomplished if the person is in possession of, or has permission to use, a <i>peruta chamura<\/i>. A <i>peruta chamura<\/i> is a coin that is vested with the power of accepting additional <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i> separations of products worth less than a <i>peruta<\/i>. In order to vest a coin with the power of <i>peruta chamura<\/i>, one must take a regular coin and either Eretz Yisroel grown grapes, olives, or one of the five types of grain (barley, rye, wheat, oat, or spelt) from which one knows for sure that <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i> has never been previously separated. After the first separation, the coin has been vested with the power of accepting additional separations up to the amount of the coin\u2019s value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What products would this <i>peruta chamura<\/i> be used for?<\/b> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any finished products such as candy bars, baked goods, prepared foods, or produce such as an almond, that contain <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i> which are worth less than a <i>peruta<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How many times can a coin containing the <i>peruta chamura<\/i> be used?<\/b> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One must realize that the <i>peruta chamura\u2019s<\/i> value fluctuates with the price of silver. The halacha states that a <i>peruta<\/i> is worth the value of pure silver which is the size of a half kernel of barley. Today, the price of silver is very depressed, so that the value of a <i>peruta<\/i> is worth less than a nickel. However, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein <em>zt&#8221;l<\/em> ruled that to be considered a <i>peruta<\/i>, the coin must have purchasing power. The smallest coin that fulfills this requirement is a dime. Therefore, if you make a <i>peruta chamura<\/i> with a dollar coin, you will be able to use that coin for nine&nbsp;additional <i>hafrashos (<\/i>separation). You have vested the first dime&#8217;s worth with the <i>kedusha<\/i> of the <i>peruta chamura<\/i> and you will be able to use the coin for nine additional <i>hafrashos<\/i> until you have used up the whole&nbsp;dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>What can be done once the coin is filled?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a regular dime&nbsp;is used it can be discarded. If one made&nbsp;a <i>peruta chamura&nbsp;<\/i>with a dollar coin, a dime can be placed next to the dollar coin containing the <i>peruta chamura<\/i>, and the owner can verbally transfer the <i>kedusha<\/i> of the nine additional separations from the dollar to the dime. The dime&nbsp;is then discarded and the <i>peruta chamura<\/i> can be reused for further <i>hafrashos<\/i>. Important: When one verbally makes the transfer, one must say that the <i>peruta chamura<\/i> is not being transferred, and only the nine additional <i>hafrashos<\/i>, separations, are being transferred to the regular dime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>In a multi-ingredient product (i.e. candy bar), how many separations are transferred onto the <i>peruta<\/i>?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One per each ingredient of the candy bar. All <i>hafrashos<\/i> can be done at the same time. Note: If it comes with a reliable <i>hechsher<\/i>, <i>terumos<\/i> and <i>ma&#8217;asros<\/i> have already been separated. If it doesn&#8217;t have a reliable <i>hechsher<\/i>, there may be kashrus concerns besides <i>terumos<\/i> and <i>ma&#8217;asros<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Who is permitted to take off <i>terumos<\/i> and <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i>?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Terumos<\/i> and <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i> can only be taken by a <i>Yehudi<\/i> above Bar\/Bas Mitzvah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Can <i>terumos<\/i> and <i>ma\u2019asros<\/i> be taken off on <i>Shabbos<\/i> and <i>Yom Tov<\/i>?<\/b> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Procedure for Separating <i>Terumos<\/i> and <i>Ma\u2019asros<\/i> <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following procedure may be used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This document should be posted in a conspicuous place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The coin (a dime or more) that you are using for the separation must be in front of you (for the <i>ma\u2019aser sheini<\/i>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Break or cut off more than one hundredth of the food and set it aside from the rest (for <i>teruma<\/i> and <i>terumas<\/i> <i>ma\u2019aser<\/i>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Say the following (either in Hebrew or English):<br><br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/terumos_text.jpg\" alt=\"\"><br><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br><strong>Transliterated<\/strong>: <span style=\"color: #cc0000; \"><i>Yoser m&#8217;echad mi&#8217;me&#8217;ah sheyeish kan harei hu teruma gedola b&#8217;tzad tzefono.* Oso echad memeah sheyaish kaan ve&#8217;od tisha chalakim k&#8217;moso b&#8217;tzad tzefono shel hapairos* harei hu ma&#8217;aser rishon.
