Description

Three ways in which Shemitah contributes to Jewish Unity: 1) Bringing people of different classes into close contact in the fields; 2) Encouraging people to abandon the Sdom/Moav trait of "what's mine is mine"; 3) Having people actively give their produce to others. Hakhel as the climax of Shemitah. In the merit of Naftali, Gilad and Eyal.
