כְּתִיב, וְלֶחֶם וְקָלִי וְכַרְמֶל לֹא תֹאכְלוּ עַד עֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וְגוֹ'. פֵּרוּשׁ, שֶׁאֲסוּרִין לֶאֱכֹל מִתְּבוּאָה חֲדָשָׁה מֵחֲמֵשֶׁת הַמִּינִים עַד לְאַחַר הַקְרָבַת הָעֹמֶר שֶׁהִקְרִיבוּ בְּשִׁשָׁה עָשָר בְּנִיסָן. וּבִזְמַן שֶׁאֵין עֹמֶר, כָּל הַיוֹם אֲסוּרִין. וְּלִבְנֵי חוּץ לַאָרֶץ שֶׁעוֹשִין יוֹם טוֹב שְׁנֵי יָמִים מֵחֲמַת סְפֵקָא, גַּם כָּל יוֹם שִׁבְעָה עָשָׂר, אָסוּר עַד תְּחִלַּת לֵיל שְׁמוֹנָה עָשָׂר. וּתְבוּאָה שֶׁנִּזְרְעָה וְנִשְׁרְשָׁה קֹדֶם ט"ז בְּנִיסָן, הַעֹמֶר הַזֶה הִתִּירָהּ, וּמֻתֶּרֶת מִיָד לְאַחַר קְצִירָתָהּ. אֲבָל אִם לֹא נִשְׁרְשָׁה קֹדֶם שִׁשָׁה עָשָׂר בְּנִיסָן, אֲסוּרָה עַד שֶׁיָבוֹא הָעֹמֶר הַבָּא.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
It is written:¹ 23:14. "And bread, and roasted grain and fresh grain² says “*carmel*” is grain roasted in its stalks. you shall not eat until this very day" etc. This means that it is forbidden to eat of any of the five species [of grain] [wheat, barley, oats, spelt, rye] from the new grain crop until after the offering of the *omer*, which was offered on the sixteenth day of *Nissan*. In a time when there is no *omer* [as in our times], it is forbidden to eat the new crop the entire day. In countries outside *Eretz Yisroel*, where two days of Yom Tov are celebrated, because of the doubt (of the actual day of Yom Tov,) it is also forbidden the entire seventeenth day until the beginning of the night of the eighteenth day. Grain which had been sown and taken root before the sixteenth day of *Nissan*, is made valid for use by (bringing) the *omer*, and it may be eaten immediately after it is harvested. However, if it did not take root before the sixteenth of *Nissan*, it is forbidden until next year's *omer* is brought.

לְדַעַת רֹב גְּדוֹלֵי הַפּוֹסְקִים, אִסּוּר זֶה גַּם בְּחוּץ לָאָרֶץ הוּא מִן הַתּוֹרָה. וְלָכֵן צְרִיכִין לְהַשְׁגִּיחַ מְאֹד בִּתְבוּאָה שֶׁנִזְּרְעָה לִפְעָמִים אַחַר הַפֶּסַח אוֹ סָמוּךְ לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח, שֶלֹּא הִשְׁרִישָׁה קֹדֶם שִׁשָׁה עָשָֹר בְּנִיסָן, כְּגוֹן שְׂעוֹרִים וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שׁוּעָל, וּבִקְצָת מְקוֹמוֹת גַּם חִטִּין, שֶׁהֵן אֲסוּרוֹת עַד לְאַחַר שִׁבְעָה עָשָׂר בְּנִיסָן הַבָּא.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
According to most of the greatest *Poskim*,³—*Ravia, Hagahos Maimonee, Ritvah, Shulchan Aruch*, etc. However, the *Ohr Zarua* is inclined, when there is a doubt about a particular product from outside *Eretz Yisrael*, to consider it a Rabbinical injunction and is lenient. The *Trumas Hadeshen* says grain of a non-Jew’s fields outside *Eretz Yisroel* is “*chodosh*” only as a Rabbinical injunction and *Bach-Riva* permit it entirely. Anyone who can, should be strict with regard to “*chodosh*” outside *Eretz Yisroel*, as most *poskim* hold it is *de’oraisa*, and certainly if you know it is “*chodosh*,” you should not eat it, since, even most of those who say it is not a *de’oraisa*, say it is a Rabbinical injunction (*Biur Halacha* 489:10) the above prohibition, even outside *Eretz Yisroel*, is a Scriptural prohibition. Therefore we must pay careful attention to grain crops that are sometimes sown after *Pesach* or so close to *Pesach* that it has not taken root before the sixteenth of *Nissan*, such as barley and oats, and in some places also wheat, for they are forbidden until after the seventeenth of *Nissan* of the next year. (If it had taken root on the sixteenth day of *Nissan*, it is permitted at the beginning of the seventeenth night of *Nissan* of the next year in any event.) Also the beer⁴ are lenient with regard to beer and all malt products. made from this grain, is forbidden until after the next Pesach. Also the lees are forbidden. If dough was leavened with it, even if the dough was made from the old grain crops, the entire dough is forbidden due to the yeast. Concerning crops about which there is a doubt whether it is old or new, you should consult a *Poseik*.

יֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים, דְּאֵין אִסּוּר חָדָשׁ אֶלָּא בִּתְבוּאָה שֶׁגָּדְלָה בִּרְשׁוּת יִשְֹרָאֵל. וַאֲפִלּוּ הַשָֹּדֶה שַׁיֶכֶת לַגּוֹי, אֶלָּא שֶׁהַיִשְֹרָאֵל שְׂכָרָהּ, יֵשׁ בִּתְבוּאָה זוֹ אִסּוּר חָדָשׁ. אֲבָל בִּתְבוּאָה שֶׁגָּדְלָה בּרְשׁוּת הַגּוֹי, אֵין בָּהּ אִסּוּר חָדָשׁ. וְעַל זֶה סוֹמְכִים הַרְבֵּה בִּשְׁעַת הַדְחָק. וּמִכָּל מָקוֹם בִּתְבוּאָה שֶׁגָּדְלָה בִּרְשׁוּת ִיִשְֹרָאֵל, אֵין שׁוּם הֶתֵּר. אֲבָל רַבּוּ הַחוֹלְקִים וְאוֹמְרִים, דְּגַם בְּשֶׁל גּוֹי אִיכָּא אִסּוּר חָדָשׁ. וְהַמַּחְמִיר תָּבוֹא עָלָיו בְּרָכָה.

**Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, trans. Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Pub., 1996:**
Some *Poskim* maintain that the prohibition of eating the new crops applies only to grain that grew in the field of a Jew. Even if the field belongs to a non-Jew, but it has been leased by a Jew, the law of new crops applies to this grain. However, if the grain grew in the field of a non-Jew, the prohibition of new crops does not apply. Many people rely on this in difficult circumstances.⁵ Nevertheless, if the grain grew in the field of a Jew, it is not permitted at all. Most *Poskim* disagree, and maintain that even grain that grew in the field of a non-Jew is subject to the prohibition of new crops; and a blessing will come upon one who is strict about it.⁶” is only if grown outside *Eretz Yisroel*, i.e., “*chodosh*” in *Eretz Yisroel* is unequivocally prohibited *de’oraisa*, with all the ramifications.
