*25.6 Makkos Daf 16 B (3 lines Up)*Rav: There is malkos for one who eats tevel of _maaser ani_ [ _terumos_ and _maasros_ were already separated from it, only _maaser ani_ was not].*Summary**Rav Yosef: There is a disagreement* among the _tannaim_ on this matter._The following mishna discusses Demai; although most amei ha’aretz keep the laws of maaser, Chazal instituted the laws of demai requiring food purchased from an am ha’aretz to be maasered again, in case the am ha’aretz was not careful with the laws. Maaser only has to be separated; since it is only a monetary obligation and there is no proof that it is owed (the am ha’aretz may have already given it), it need not be given to the levi. Terumah must be given because eating terumah is a torah prohibition._*Rabbi Elazar: _Maaser ani_ need not be separated* from _demai._*Chachomim: It must be designated* but it need not be separated.It would seem that *the opinion of the Chachomim is* that until _maaser ani_ is separated *the produce remains _tevel,_* while *Rabbi Elazar* holds that *there is no _tevel_ with regard to _maaser ani._* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
