Is Hafrashas Challah Today Deoraisa

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Is hafrashas challah d'Oraisa today, now that so many Jews live in Eretz Yisrael? From the pasuk b'vo'achem, Rav Huna and the Rambam tie the d'Oraisa to the Jewish people living in the land, and Rashi says a majority is enough.

Key points

• Rashi reads b'vo'achem as obligating challah right on entering, before the land was conquered and divided.
• Rav Huna learns b'vo'achem as all Jews coming, and Rashi says a majority is enough.
• For terumah, the Chazon Ish holds a majority is enough, since Ezra's kedusha of the land still stands.
