What’s said in this shiur

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

it really worried me like i was afraid like if i go to the store like because there are stores that like maybe they do sell you know proper shenash mita but like there's no you know there's no way of telling like on my side like well i'll tell you this you know shemitah of course has a few components uh if you're a farmer shmita has all sorts of restrictions on what you can do on the land etc if you're a consumer you in a way have you have fewer questions but but the thing is anything that grows during shemitah has to be treated in a holy way you know you can't throw it away you can't waste it there'll be a special receptacle for shmita produce etc uh and you know the israeli rabbinate relies on an old dispensation going back to the 19 early 1900s where all of the land is sold to non-jews and their shita is their approach is that just like you tell your comments that the laws of shmita don't apply but most of the right-wing yeshiva community does not accept that concept so my answer is very simple though in other words uh any hashikaka that you would rely upon during the year let's say the haredis the badass will also be sure that it'll be in full compliance with shemitah which means to say it'll either be imported or it'll be bought from arabs which is a controversial uh political issue but you don't have to worry in other words uh if you were the the things that you rely upon for the whole year will be good for shemitah as well
