Question

What is the status of vegetables brought from the country of Jordan concerning the sanctity of the Sabbatical year?

Answer

In a significant number of cases, the kashrut takes vegetables south of the Arnon River, and their status is like that of outside the Land concerning the Sabbatical year, because it is Edom and Moab. However, regarding tithes and offerings, their status is like that of Edom and Moab, and they are obligated if the threshing was under Jewish ownership. If these are vegetables north of the Arnon River, they have the sanctity of the Sabbatical year as is the law for the eastern side of the Jordan.
