The Weekly Parsha

From the Orchards of Jerusalem

by Daneal Weiner

B’har opens saying that at Mt. Sinai Moshe learned all the details of the laws of Shmittah, the 7th year when the land is left fallow. The question asked by all is why suddenly bring up Mt. Sinai again and why attach it to the mitsvah of Shmittah? Rashi explains that just as all the details of this mitsvah were explained to Moshe Mt. Sinai, so too were all the details of all the mitsvos explained to Moshe at Mt. Sinai. Rashi continues that the mitsvah of Shmittah was chosen because it is not repeated in the book of D’varim. If another mitsvah was used, one might think that all the details but those mentioned later were given at Sinai. Then Hashem filled in the blanks just before entering Israel. Since Shmittah is not mentioned in D’varim, now all the laws from Sinai means ALL the laws!!

Other commentaries offer that the very last thing Bnei Yisrael were able to do was the Shmittah. The laws of Shmittah include all Jews being settled in Israel. It took Yehoshua 7 years to conquer Israel and another 7 years to get everyone settled. Then the counting started! So the 21st year after entering was the first Shmittah year. If there was any law that Bnei Yisrael was not in a hurry to hear about, it was the Shmittah! And if they got that one at Mt. Sinai, they got every one at Mt. Sinai. (Of course the first Yovel-Jubilee year wasn’t till the 64th year after entering Israel so it would have been a better choice. Perhaps that can be answered by the similarities of the Shmittah and Yovel years. Discussing one discusses the other as well.)

The Chasam Sofer offers another answer to “why Shmittah.” It is one of the more “G-dly” mitsvahs. For background, we mentioned above the parsha first commands the Shmittah and then mentions the 6 years leading to it. Why in this order? The Ma’or Einayim explains that the Shmittah is the end point, the focus. What is the means to this end? The 6 years of planting. We can’t lose sight during those 6 years of labor that it is not our land, it is Hashem’s. It is not our labor that produced the results, it is only Hashem’s will. The Shmittah year will prove that. The 7th year, like the 7th day, testifies the world belongs to Hashem. Every farmer knows the fields have to be left fallow sometime. But the way of the world is to leave it every other year or every third year. None would think of going 6 straight years before giving the land rest. The Torah is telling us that first recognize the

goal, Shmittah. Now that you’ve done that, go ahead and plant 6 straight years and every year will be a healthy crop. This is what the Chasam Sofer meant. ONLY Hashem can make a promise like that. Only a Divinely written book can give the masses a “test” opportunity, that in a few short years they will know if it’s a book of truth or lies. Other religions can only promise heavenly rewards because anything else its followers can check for accuracy. Knowing this, the human originators promise nothing tangible.

The Torah goes even further! G-d assures that the 6th year’s crop will last till the beginning of the 9th year!!! (When that which was planted in the 8th will be harvested and ready to eat.) And that can be done in two ways. For the believers, the standard produce of the 6th year’s crop will miraculously last for 3 years. People will be satisfied from eating a third as much food. The work in the 6th year will be the same and the next 3 years of cooking and washing dishes will be a blessing as well.

But if one asks, “What will we eat in the 7th year?” If they doubt Hashem then Hashem “forces” a blessing. An unbelievable bumper crop in the 6th year! What should be the field’s weakest year will be an explosion of 3 years’ worth of produce!!! Harvesting will be back-breaking work! Finding storage will be a nightmare! The Sages say “An increase in property is an increase in worry.” There will be concerns of spoilage, theft, infestation. Cooking and cleaning will be as usual. This is a vort in and of itself. Our point again being that only Hashem could write such promises for His children. And so the mitsvah Shmittah was chosen to say that just as it could only come from Sinai, a Divinely revelation of Divine laws and in all its detail, so too is it a mitsvah from Sinai. Divine in origin to its finest detail!

concert.

Terumas HaDeshen Three donors are needed to provide funds

for the paving of the setback behind the fence in the back of the shul. We have paid a contractor $500 to clear and pave the setback for placement of the shul’s refuse containers. Two generous donors have come forward with $100 donations each. We need three more like-minded members to step up and help make this happen. Please see Nisan

Blaxberg if you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, akin to the Kohanim performing “Terumas HaDeshen!”

The Nancy Taffel Annex Dear Fellow TY Members,

Thanks to all who attended the brunch for the dedication of the Nancy Taffel Annex. We were glad you shared it with us. If you could not make it, we invite you to see for yourselves our shul’s wonderful new space and think of ways to use it.

The shul means a lot to us and we fervently hope that the room will be used for Torah study and personal growth. With Hashem’s help, the warm, vibrant environment our shul has acheived will be enhanced by the addition of this very special room.

Sincerely, Jay and Devorah Taffel

The Nancy Taffel Annex is now available for meetings, shiurim, and special functions. Please call Eileen Rosenbaum at 410-764-8443 or email ejrosenbaum@gmail.com to schedule.

The space is not meant for children’s events, nor for unsupervised teen events. Anyone under 20 must be in the company of an adult.

Please leave the room in the condition you found it or better. Thanks for doing your part to make our shul a wonderful place to grow and learn!

Note from the TY Sisterhood about the new annex. The Megilas Rus Shiur given by Yael Weisbord was the first TY Sisterhood shiur held in the Nancy Taffel Annex. It was beautifully attended. The room was really full. Don’t miss the last class in the series this Tuesday night which will be held from 8-9:30 in order to complete the megillah, be”H.

The Annex project went over budget before all the nitty gritty details were completed. We are looking for sponsors. The sisterhood will be sponsoring tables and additional chairs in the Annex. Also needed are a clock, a vacuum cleaner, a coat rack, hat shelf and a garbage can. Anyone who wants to help out in any of those areas is appreciated! Please speak to Devorah Taffel about making these donations.

Focus on Tanach Our Focus on Tanach year is halfway over.

So far, 54 families are participating in study-ing Tanach. We’re looking for 100% partici-pation. Join in. You’re probably doing it al-ready. All you need to do is add your name to the list. If not, all we’re asking for is one parsha. And if you don’t want to study alone, we’ll even find you a partner.

Yahrzeits Giving tzedakah in the name of the

departed has the power to elevate their soul. When you give charity on behalf of your loved one, consider giving to Tiferes Yisroel.

Focus on Tanach The idea is to complete all of Tanach, as a community, with each family or individual learning a book from Tanach or a

Parsha from the Torah. There can be overlap, as long as we finish Tanach as a shul. Sign up with Shaina Margolese at momargolese@yahoo.com or 410-358-7387. Rabbi Goldberger would very much like the Torah parshiyos to be completed by the youth of our shul. Sign up with
