HaRav Shmuel Auerbach Visits Shmittah-Observant Farmers
By Yechiel Sever
At a special gathering held at Moshav Nachala and Moshav
Zavdiel in the Lachish area, dozens of farmers welcomed the
arrival of HaRav Shmuel Auerbach, who came to offer them
encouragement.
The visit was organized by Keren Shevi'is Director Rav Ben
Tzion Kugler, who asked HaRav Auerbach to offer farmers
chizuk. When HaRav Auerbach agreed, it was decided to
hold the visit at moshavim in the Lachish area, where dozens
of shomer Shevi'is farmers are located.
The visit began at the hothouses of Moshav Nachala, where
HaRav Auerbach noted the quiet that prevails there.
Afterwards several dozen farmers gathered in the beis
knesses on the moshav, where HaRav Auerbach delivered a
speech. "We came to strengthen others," he began, "but
instead we've founding ourselves strengthened thanks to you."
He went on to speak about the importance and the reward of
farmers who follow the Torah's primary injunction —
la'asos ulekayem. "We learn the sugyos in the
Mishnoh and the gemora, but there's no end to
the value of learning that leads to action, which is the
essence of Torah."
