Parashat Behar – Opening Questions

  • What is the purpose of the Shemittah year? Does it have a social, religious, or agrarian focus?
  • How did the pre-Shemittah blessing of grain manifest itself? Was it quantitative or qualitative in nature?
  • Why is it necessary to provide three years worth of grain, if the prohibition of working the land only lasts one year?
