A National Jewish Obligation
Giving the Zeroa, Lechayayim, and Keva from every kosher animal slaughter

Buying these parts when they are labeled "kosher"
Applying the obligation in chutz la'aretz
Manipulating the kohen to give up these parts for money

A beautifuly compiled sefer to yoreh deah chapter 61 regarding the laws of giving the zora, lechayayim & keva to the kohen, they should be blessed that the matter of hashem in their hands should be successful
Rabbi Gershon Tannenbaum ז"ל
Rav of B’nai Israel of Linden Heights in Boro Park and director of the Rabbinical Alliance of America.
Unfortunately, this mitzvah has fallen to the wayside of Jewish life. Torah-true observant Jews, kohanim, shochtim, and kashrus-certifying agencies are almost uniformly unaware of its details and specific requirements. Igud Kohanim has launched its campaign to restore the giving of the foreleg, cheeks, and abomasum to
kohanim and to the mitzvah’s glory.

This sefer is all delightful and fitting to be al shulchan melachim to delve into its sources and clarify all the sugyos and opinions on the topic .. of what is written in se'if 21, the editors undertook to clarify the halacha regarding matanot kehuna bezman hazeh both in eretz yisroel and chutz le'aretz - yeyasher kocham ve'chailam leoraisa
Rabbi Avrohom Gerlitzky shlit"a
Rosh Yeshiva of Talmudical Seminary Oholei Torah Brooklyn, New York
I scanned through the sefer and saw that it is written with broad knowledge and understaning - I say to him יישר חיליה לאוריתא and bless that this should be greatly successful to delve into the laws of kehuna and publicize them to be mezakeh the public, and this is surely a great beginning that we will merit to keep matnos kehuna - all 24 matnos kehuna..
