You can't just throw away your salad remnants, your soup remnants, your peels, etc...<BR/><BR/>And if you buy Israeli products, it will affect you too- and not just for one year, but for 3 or so! For us here in the land of Israel, veges now, then fruits soon as well. Juices will be later on (next year?), and wines, etc... will be after that.<BR/><BR/>It sure makes one cognizent of HaShem's intimate connection with us.<BR/><BR/>You should be zocheh to feel it as we do, which can ONLY be done here in Israel.Yishai Kohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063856362086673477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-41815747979193950502007-10-10T06:23:00.000+02:002007-10-10T06:23:00.000+02:00i look forward to your shemitah post. living in a...i look forward to your shemitah post. living in america i really know so little about it and i am interested in how it affects israelis on a daily basis.Lion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-46160164447022639602007-10-09T20:18:00.000+02:002007-10-09T20:18:00.000+02:00You absolutely ARE allowed to water grass during s...You absolutely ARE allowed to water grass during shmita, although:<BR/><BR/>http://www.moreshet.co.il/web/alonparash/display_gilon.asp?kod_gilon=5986&codeClient=632<BR/><BR/>Also see this:<BR/><BR/>http://www.hashmita.co.il/Yishai Kohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063856362086673477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-33733995303440542432007-10-09T15:47:00.000+02:002007-10-09T15:47:00.000+02:00I am not sure what you mean... they should cut the...I am not sure what you mean... they should cut their beards? they should not? why only in seven years will they stop? I am a bit slow on the draw today so please explain....<BR/><BR/>I water my tree when I feel it is desperate for water. Then again, that is how often I water it the other six years as well. That might even be why any fruit that grows on the tree dies pretty quickly... hmmmmRafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-41397401341226671222007-10-09T15:34:00.000+02:002007-10-09T15:34:00.000+02:00Some residents of RBS A (not B) aren't watering th...Some residents of RBS A (not B) aren't watering their grass during shmitta... and it's already a nice sandy brown color.
