Attention community members! We want to inform you that the pomegranates currently available at Costco are imported from Israel. This is important for those who observe the laws of Terumos and Maasros, as these fruits are subject to specific agricultural laws. Terumos and Maasros refer to the tithes that must be separated from produce grown in Israel, and it’s essential for those in our community to be aware of this when purchasing these pomegranates.
This announcement serves as a helpful reminder for anyone planning to buy these delicious fruits for the upcoming holidays or family gatherings. By being informed about the source and the necessary tithes, you can ensure that you are fulfilling your religious obligations while enjoying the bounty of the season. Sharing this information helps us all stay connected and supports one another in adhering to our traditions. If you have any questions about how to properly separate Terumos and Maasros from your pomegranates, feel free to reach out to knowledgeable community members or local rabbinical authorities for guidance.
