Shalom,
I brought with me out of eretz Yisrael Shmita fruit as a gift and I forgot that it is not allowed...
Can we eat thease fruit? I am coming back to Israel in a week and they will be rewened until then.
Should we throw them out? can we eat them?
thanks,
Answer
It is not initially permitted to take Shmita fruit out of Israel but if you did you are allowed eat them.
