Question
Shavua Tov. My neighbor has a lemon tree that leans over my garden, and lemons have fallen into the garden. I'm sure he doesn't mind if I take them.
A. Can I eat them in the garden one by one without separating tithes?
B. If I collect them and bring them into the house, do I need to separate tithes, and do I need to bless?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A - B. Only if the neighbor declared his fruits ownerless before three people, the fruits are exempt from tithes. One should separate without a blessing.
