Sending Etrogim of the Sabbatical Year Abroad
Question
Is it permissible during the Sabbatical year to send etrogim from Israel abroad?
Answer
It is forbidden to export fruits of the Sabbatical year abroad, and therefore it is prohibited to send etrogim of the Sabbatical year abroad. However, it is permitted to export to places abroad where it is impossible to obtain an un-grafted etrog except from Israel.
