Saved By Shmitah וצויתי את ברכתי

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 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 only problem was no farmer wants to work in a field next to the gaza border the tension between israel and gaza was palpable they were at the brink of war but then because i grew up this region so i know the region i know it's a little bit hard a little bit risky sometimes they shoot sometimes they throw stones so okay let's do it and keep going the problem is that the kibbutz nick the farmer says you can't take it now it's not ready yet it's still a little bit grim you need to wait another one and a half two weeks and you tell them look we don't wait this next year is shmita we need to have double of the amounts we can't take the risk another rain will come we need to take it now they worked overtime from dawn till dusk from sunrise till sunset they tried their best to do it as fast as possible because they didn't want rain to ruin any of their chances to take the wheat to be used for mata mura in addition they needed double the amount of wheat they would usually harvest because the next year was shemitah we need to take diabetes so it's 3 000 while they were on the field on the tractor ira remembers his partner saying to an era i can feel that the ground beneath us is shaking it feels kind of unstable but it wasn't like something which is not usual because it's a field it's a big tractor you have rocks you have holes and within two to three days they managed to harvest the entire field they sent shiploads of the wheat to all the major cities in israel for those bakeries to have from matsushima and also to store for the next pesach forshmita two days later it was all over the news [Music] from the hamas they were digging a tunnel in the ground and they come up exactly while we are walking with the combine for the masashimura they were hoping that the wheat that had ripened that grew in that field would cover them but because ira and his partner risked their lives they worked overtime to harvest every strand of wheat for matsushimura and to store for the next year shemitah the terrorists were exposed right away the israeli idf was able to see them in the camera and straight away they were able to kill them there's only one mitzvah in the torah where hashem gives an explicit promise of vitsevisia's berkasi that he will enforce his blessing unto those who keep the mitzvah shemitah this is the possibility to keep shmita which made this miracle to happen you
