Behar-Bechoksai 5785 - When Farmers Become Angels

In this episode, we explore the profound spiritual challenge of shmittah—the Torah commandment to let fields lie fallow every seventh year. Discover why Chazal compare those who observe this mitzvah to angels, and how ordinary farmers demonstrate extraordinary faith by trusting in divine providence against all logical concerns for their livelihood. Through powerful stories and teachings from Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz and the Gemara, we uncover how the principle of "doing before understanding" creates a level of trust in Hashem that surpasses even the angels themselves. Join us to learn how this ancient agricultural practice reveals timeless wisdom about cultivating unshakeable bitachon in our modern lives. This is a public episode.
