- 0:01Tritter shit. Number 10.
- 0:05So here we go. We're going to take on the our
- 0:07Barber know this morning, says the clear Kerr come on.
- 0:12If the whole point of the seventh year is to bring out the
- 0:15themes of Shabbos. Then what can a Mitzvah once
- 0:18every seven years teachers that the weekly Shoppers can't teach
- 0:21us, it seems a bit far-fetched to try and Link the seventh year
- 0:27with the seventh day as if it's going to inspire us for a long
- 0:30time with a message that we're not getting each week.
- 0:33So says the clear called the purpose This Mitzvah is to give
- 0:37the Jewish people a quality of faith and trust in Hashem.
- 0:41Hashem is what's concerned that when they come to the land, they
- 0:45would occupy themselves with Agriculture and that's
- 0:47completely normal. And when they would produce
- 0:50something, they would forget about God, mmm, Paul, put all
- 0:54their faith and confidence in their own work.
- 0:59And that's not right. They would forget about there
- 1:05was forget God and abandon their trust in him thinking that their
- 1:07strength. In the power of that hand had
- 1:10made them, this wealth that the world progresses according to
- 1:13its natural order. They would think that it were
- 1:15their land and they its exclusive owners.
- 1:20God therefore holy removes them from the natural order of things
- 1:23for it is the way of the Nations and six years to have two years
- 1:26of planting a one-year follow, so as not to Click the risk, the
- 1:30resources? Yeah, I sure am says men in it.
- 1:32Six years, you plot every year and I will promise you that I'm
- 1:37going to give the land its resources, the energy, it needs,
- 1:40you're not going to suffer. This is a miracle within a
- 1:44miracle. Normally says that Leah Cohen,
- 1:46one plans for six years, even in the sixth year, its strength is
- 1:49not depleted at the very least. It won't increase in strength.
- 1:53Yeah, I sure am says no on the contrary.
- 1:56That six-year going to have the biggest Bumper Crop.
- 2:00So our last for three years which certainly is the greatest
- 2:04the most manifest of all miracles.
- 2:07Through all these proofs, I have demonstrated to, you know, that
- 2:10the Earth is mine, says Hashem that your eyes, thus, be praised
- 2:15be raised to Hashem. So the kayaker explains that the
- 2:19lack of fulfillment of Chavez represents a fundamental absence
- 2:23of faith and that's why you get kicked out because you no longer
- 2:27facing God, you're not going to be in God's land.
- 2:31If you think back at the different rationales that we
- 2:34have covered together, think that which one makes the most
- 2:37sense to you. What each commentary suggests a
- 2:41certain underlying theme for all of the laws of V8?
- 2:46And note difficulties with the themes championed by others.
- 2:49There is no reason to limit our understanding to any particular
- 2:52Focus. Why not accept all of them, just
- 2:55without viewing them as exclusive the seven cedra's or
- 2:59paragraphs dealing. With this particular, Mitzvah
- 3:02combined to present a multi-dimensional year with.
- 3:05Not only one theme that a minimum, minimum of seven.
- 3:09If we try to identify which are the four types of mitzvahed,
- 3:12enumerated above most accurately a represent.
- 3:16Should we eat? You would be hard pressed to put
- 3:18our finger on any particular one, the Rams, first
- 3:21understanding focuses on the Bernard.
- 3:23I'm like other aspect by noting the charitable aspects of
- 3:27schmitter, which is the said Rob mishpatim.
- 3:30He includes the been old omelets move, Focus as well.
- 3:32By explaining the character traits.
- 3:34This Mitzvah seeks to develop compassion and promoting the
- 3:37well-being of all men. Rather Ahmad Al Qaeda is like
- 3:40explaining why should he eats non-observant results in Excel
- 3:44characterizes the year as a break?
- 3:46from the endless pursuit of material gain, he emphasizes the
- 3:49spiritual perspective, one can gain That's further noted by the
- 3:54clear calls. Their offers a been awdawm
- 3:56lahmacun, rational noting. How should be its observance,
- 3:59represents the height of Faith? The above explanation displays a
- 4:03dual Focus, he accent, uh the shared message of Shabbat and
- 4:08sweet but also speaks of the unique, nature of the land.
- 4:13He characterizes the lands. Holiness is independent of the
- 4:16Jewish people and their failure to utilize the land to embody
- 4:19its message results in Exile. His focus is on being odd on,
- 4:24leyritz are between a person and their land.
- 4:28So we can send as many conclusion, it provides guidance
- 4:31and all four, fundamental dimensions of our existence,
- 4:35spiritual relations interpersonal, relations
- 4:38character development and relationship to the land of
- 4:42Israel. So stay with me on this journey
- 4:46as we delve deeper into these ideas.
- 4:49Have a very lovely day.
