The Separation of Terumos and Maasros: The Procedure

(1) Place the fruit or vegetables in one place.


(2) Remove slightly more than 1% of the produce and place it next to the rest of
the remaining produce
(3) Set aside a nickel OR refer to the coin set aside in the shul.
(4) Recite the following:

(I)(Teruma) “The amount in excess of 1% of the separated portion that is on the


northern side should be teruma gedola”

(II)(Maaser Rishon) “The remaining 1% of the separated portion and an additional


9% on the northern side of the remaining produce should be maaser rishon”

(III)(Terumas Maaser) “The 1% of the separated portion that I just designated as


part of my maaser rishon should now become terumas maaser”

The remaining tithes only need to be identified in order to remove the tevel
status from the produce, but need not be separated. In the case of maaser sheni
and neta rivai, although they do not need to be removed, they do require
redemption on a coin.

(IV)(Maaser Sheni and Maaser Ani:) “If I am obligated to separate maaser sheni,
then 10% of the remaining produce on the southern side should be maaser sheni .
“If I am obligated to separate maaser ani, then 10% of the remaining produce on
the southern side should be maaser ani”

(V) (Redeeming Maaser Sheni & Neta Rivai): “If I have separated maaser sheni or if
the produce is rivai then its value plus 25% should be redeemed on the coin I have
designated for such purpose, “or” the coin set aside in Beth Abraham for this
purpose.

(VI) The separated produce (1%+) is then wrapped and discarded. The coin can be
reused and ultimately redeemed on the coin set aside in the shul by simply stating
so, but should be clearly identified as a coin of maaser sheni and/or rivai.
Alternatively, one can also wrap the coin and discard it with the teruma and
terumas maaser.

If one is unable recite the full text above, then after following the instructions
above and separating 1%+ of the produce, one can recite the following text: “All
separations of teruma and maaser and redemptions of maaser sheni and rivai should
be accomplished in accordance with the text of the Chazon Ish (Rav Avrohom
Karelitz zt”l)”
