As AhSY continues down YD 322, I encountered something else that
differentiates challah.
Wheat that grows in chu"l but is kneaded in Israel is chayav in challah
mideOraisa. And v.v. wheat from EY kneaded in chu"l only required is
miderabbanan. Because the chiyuv is on dough, not the grain itself,
the chiyuv follows where it became dough.
nd as the AhSY says in se'if 10, Chazal were therefore more strict by
challah than terumos umaaseros, because mecehezei kechovas haguf velo
kechovas qarqa.
Tir'u baTov!
