1. Right in the beginning of this week’s Torah portion the Torah tells us that Hashem spoke to Moshe Rabbeinu (Moshe our teacher) on Har Sinai (Mount Sinai) and told him about the laws of the Shemitah year (the year of rest when you cannot work your land). As it says:
“Hashem spoke to Moshe on Mount Sinai saying. Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, when you come into the land which I give to you, the land shall be at rest- a Shabbos for Hashem. For six years you shall plant your field and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and you shall harvest its produce. But the seventh year shall be a Shabbos of rest for the land, a Shabbos for Hashem, you shall not plant your field and you shall not prune your vineyard…”.
