david asked:
Hi,
what does it mean, if one does not own produce he cannot give terumah? also if a person wants to give charity is allowed ? is there any case where he is not allowed?
thank you
david, ny ny
The Kollel replies:
The Gemara means that someone is not allowed to take off Terumah from produce which he does not own without authorization from the owner of the produce. He similarly would not be able to take his friend's money and give it to the poor without authorization from the owner.
Take Care,
Yaakov Montrose
