Sign up for Shemita Updates from the London Beth Din Kashrut Division .
Until further notice:
- You can and should buy Israeli fruit - ie produce that grows from trees.
- You can and should buy Israeli wine and spirits (if you like Arak, I guess!)
- You should not buy Israeli vegetables, herbs or flowers ie produce that grows from the ground, such as melon. The only exception to this are 'Alei Katif' hydroponically produced bug free herbs and vegetables (also MSG free but high in taste and nutrients)
- You should buy all other Israeli products, such as Bisli (please eat Bisli responsibly, at least more responsibly than I do!) Bisli is available at Morrisons Supermarket in Chalk Farm if you want to support local distributors of Israeli products!
For an explanation of the Shemita (sabbatical year) and how we observe it, please see the other posts in the Shemita 5768 label.
