KLBD Shmita Update April 2023

The KLBD policy, in keeping with that of the other European Batei Din (Jewish Law Courts), the OU and other American Kashrut Authorities, is that given these considerations, it is preferable to avoid using certain products that are grown in Israel during the Shemitta year and the year following. See the chart below for dates to avoid each fruit and vegetable. If one has already made the purchase, a Rabbinical Authority should be consulted.

The period during which Shemitta restrictions apply to different fruit and vegetables is shown in the chart below. 

Please note that the dates given are for fresh produce and do not include frozen, tinned or dried products. These have a long shelf life and require a reliable hechsher.
