Saved By Shmitah

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yoel Gold’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

if there was ever a picture in the dictionary of a jewish farmer it would be ira zimmerman from very very young age i was going to work with my father in the fields i was dropping the tractor and this is the way of living because he grew up without a torah education without mitzvos without chavez he has a passion for using his farming skills to promote torah mitzvahs which is why he volunteers to harvest the wheat from matsushimura every year and he also volunteers a ton of his time and efforts for karen achivias and efforts for karen achivias an organization that helps farmers keep the laws of shemitah i feel it's like a balchuba is making a chuva on the thing he did before seven years ago was the sixth year of the shmita cycle it turns out that that year it rained in israel very late in the harvesting season all the center of israel was not good for the masashimura and also the north was raining this year so only what we have to do is to go to the south of israel fortunately iran's friends found a field in the south of israel next to the gaza border
