Rosh Hashanah 15: Fruit Trees and Some Exceptions

Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

More on the new year for an etrog... Specifically, on etrogim that are from the 6th and 7th years of the shemitah cycle. And the 8th year. Including the concerns of removing the produce from your possession, as needed. And the ongoing efforts to puzzle what's required for each year. Also, trees that bear fruit twice in one year. And those trees that bear fruit before the 15th of Shevat - specifically, olives, dates, and carob - which are disputed whether they are counted according to the time of ripening or the time of picking. With a sidebar to a debate over white figs. Plus, efforts to create the debate between R. Yochanan and Resh Lakish that didn't happen, because R. Yochanan said nothing, whether in acquiescence or rejection.
