Yes, we know you’re not a farmer. But you can keep the mitzvah of Shmita!
People have always believed that only farmers cultivating the land in the sixth year can fulfill the mitzvah of Shmita in the seventh year.
This is not true! For most of Am Yisroel, Shmita has not been affordable or accessible. Under the haskamos of Gedolei Yisrael, Agudas Shmita has completely changed that.
Only farmers who work on agricultural land during the 6th year, can keep the mitzva of shmita in the 7th year.
The average Jew cannot become a farmer for the two years required to give him full schar for the mitzva. Agudas Shmita has the ultimate, most halachically mehudar solution!
Ownership is attained via a trustee – a shliach, a representative who completely fulfills the mitzva and thus enables you to be zoche to its infinite blessing.
In order to merit this unique opportunity, b’hiddur, most poskim hold that one must privately own a piece of land in Eretz Yisroel, and have it formally registered in his name in the Israeli Tabo, rather than temporarily lease it
With one click, and the Shmita-ready unit of land is yours!
A Sicha of the Rebbe encouraging to take part in Keren Hashmita, through which one can fulfill the Mitzvah of Shmitah:
Where is this money going to? The rebbe is saying to help the farmers that sacrifice, is this going to them?
Should I buy a piece of land in Eretz Yisroel prior to Shmita, so that I can fulfill the mitzva of Shmita? Question: There are a few websites that offer to buy a piece of land in Eretz Yisroel prior to Shmita, so that one can fulfill the mitzvah of Shmita. Is this recommended by Rabbi Braun Shlit”a? Answer: No. Best to use the money instead for Tzedakah.
