Shaarey Zedek Congregation / Rabbi Jonathan Rosenberg

Message From the Rav

This year presents us with a unique opportunity to partner with our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael. The Shemittah (Sabbatical Year) began this past Rosh Hashanah 5782. Over the decades, as the economy of Israel has B"H grown very strong, more and more Israeli farmers have chosen to observe Shemittah in the most scrupulous way by allowing their fields to lay fallow. Many Shuls across the Diaspora have joined the initiative launched by Keren Hashviis to sponsor a farm in Eretz Yisrael, thereby halachically acquiring a share in the property and serving as a partner with its farmer. This way through our sponsorship, every supporter fulfills the once in seven year mitzvah of observing Shemittah. The Torah promises great bracha to those who observe Shemittah. Our Shul's name will be added to the signage at the farm. Anyone who visits Israel will be welcome to take a tour of our farm and feel the simcha of knowing that we have fulfilled this special mitzvah together. Please help our Shul reach our goal and in this zechus, merit to see the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days.
