Description

If the sixth year before shemita provides enough for three years, why do Chazal treat someone keeping shemita like a hero? And if the bracha for keeping mitzvot is such plenty that the harvest season will last so long with so much to harvest, why do we need a blessing that a little bit of food will satisfy us? The Ta'ama Dikra (Rav Chaim Kanievsky) explains why.
