Shemittah 

Collections: Jewish Heritage Tour of Morocco

Description

Shiur given on a bus in Casablanca. Rabbi Schachter discusses the laws of shemittah. Can one eat vegetables or fruit that grew on their own? Can one eat fruit from the heter mechira? Is the way shemittah fruit is handled, different than how ba'al tashchis tells one to handle fruit? How does Otzer Beis Din work? Does one need to do do biur, on fruit bought from Otzer Beis Din? Should one pay with cash or a check when buying peiros shevi'is? When does one need to write a pruzbal? Does a pruzbal need to be in writing, or does a verbal declaration suffice?
