How this series is built
An introduction before each set — and every mishnah recording stands on its own.
The subject
אִסּוּר חָדָשׁ
New grain may not be eaten until the Omer is brought.
Grain that grew since last Pesach

עָרְלָה ג:ט · קִדּוּשִׁין א:ט
Both ask one question.
How far does the issur reach?
Everywhere — not only in Eretz Yisrael
And today
Is chadash assur now?
Many poskim say yes; others suggest not
Ask your rav
Let us begin
