Terumos Chapter 11, Mishnah 2: Fruit Juices from Terumah

Chavrusa Learning

We are learning Maseches Terumos, chapter eleven, mishnah 2, which deals with liquids that come out of Terumah produce.

The liquids listed in the mishnah:

  • "Hadvash haba min hatemarim" - honey extracted from the date fruit.

  • "Hayayin haba min hatapuchim" - that is, apple juice.

  • "Hachometz haba min ha'anavim" - from grapes that are late in ripening.

These fruit drinks were common among people in the times of Chazal: they would take fruit and extract the various liquids from them.

The same applies to every type of fruit juice extracted from Terumah produce - dates of Terumah or apples of Terumah.

In summary: this mishnah deals with the liquids that come out of Terumah produce - date honey, apple wine, and vinegar from grapes that are late in ripening - and with the law governing all fruit juices extracted from Terumah produce.
