[Avodah] [Areivim] kosher cabbage

[Ben Waxman]

That is not what I was told at all. I was once at a knesses on the subject
and a senior kashrut supervisor stated that the rabbinate tries to take
ma'aser on everything going out, but for reasons which he didn't explain, it
isn't always done. Therefore any buying Israeli fruit should take ma'aser,
but it is only a safek.

Selling vadai tevel, not even trying, would be a huge mikshal l'fnei
ha-iver.
