Section: Questions Category: Halacha Halacha - shmitta esrog | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | Question: I'm buying esrogim this year from Eretz Yisroel that are otzar beis din and others that rely on a heter from Rav Moshe that they can be sold if its specified that you pay for the lulav, so you aren't buying sheviis produce. In both cases, what are the inyanim by disposal of the esrog?
| Answer: In both cases the esrog has Kedushas Shviis and must be returned to Eretz Yisroel for biyur before Tu B'Shvat. Also, care must be taken not to damage the esrog in any way.
