Question
From when is it forbidden to buy cabbage in the market without supervision?
Answer
3rd of Tishrei 5782, and this includes all types of cabbage such as white cabbage, red cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and similar. Anything of this kind harvested from Rosh Hashanah is sanctified with the sanctity of the Sabbatical year, and there is a prohibition on commerce. However, according to Rambam, the prohibition of sefichin applies from this time, but according to the Rash and Ramban, the prohibition of sefichin will apply only from the time the species began to grow in the Sabbatical year. There is red cabbage in the market from the sowing of the Sabbatical year starting from the 16th of Kislev, while white cabbage is available from the 24th of Kislev 5782. For other varieties, the time needs to be clarified.
