Question
From when is it prohibited to buy kohlrabi in the market without supervision?
Answer
On the 3rd of Tishrei 5782, any produce of this type harvested after Rosh Hashanah is sanctified with the sanctity of the Shemitah year, and there is a prohibition on commerce. However, according to Rambam, the prohibition of 'sefichin' applies from this time, whereas according to Rashi and Ramban, the prohibition of 'sefichin' applies only from the time the species began to grow in the Shemitah year. Starting from the 1st of Tevet 5782, there is produce in the market sown during the Shemitah year.
