PRODUCE OF ISRAEL
(TERUMAH & MA'ASER)

Grains, fruits, and vegetables (and their extracts) that grow in the halachic boundaries of Eretz Yisrael are subject to many extra kashrut laws due to the kedusha (holiness) of the land. These include:

•	The requirement to separate terumah (the Priestly tithe)
•	The requirement to separate the various forms of ma’aser (tithes for the Levites, the poor, and the portion that was to be eaten in Jerusalem in Temple times)
•	Shmita (produce of the Sabbatical year)
•	A stricter form of Orla (produce of a tree within its first 3 years).
