# Nowadays, taking Terumot and Maaserot is only Derabbanan (according to most authorities), but nonetheless, one must make a Bracha upon separating certainly untithed produce. The Bracha is ברוך אתה ה' אלוקינו מלך העולם אשר קידשנו במצותיו וצוונו להפריש תרומות ומעשרות. <Ref>Rambam (Hilchot Terumot 1:26) writes that Terumot and Maaserot is only Derabbanan nowadays, while the Raavad (ibid.) argues that the obligation is Deoritta. The Maggid Mishna (ibid.) writes that most Rishonim hold like the Rambam including the Smag (Mitzvah Aseh #133), Sefer HaTerumah (Hilchot Eretz Yisrael pg 80b), Rashba (Yevamot 82b, Shevuot 16b), ריטב"א (Yevamot 82a), and Sefer HaChinuch (Mitzvah 507). S”A Y”D 331:2 codifies this as halacha. Nonetheless, the Rambam (Hilchot Terumot 2:16) writes that there is an obligation to make a Bracha even nowadays. S”A Y”D 331:78 and Chazon Ovadyah (Tu Beshevat pg 47-49) agree. This is opposition to the opinion of Shulchan Gavoha 331:15 who contends that since the obligation is only Derabbanan one shouldn’t make a Bracha nowadays. </ref>

S”A Y”D 331:2 rules like the Rambam. Nonetheless, the Rambam (Hilchot Terumot 2:16) writes that there is an obligation to make a Bracha upon separating untithed produce even nowadays.
