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?
- How are Shemittah and Shabbat similar?
