Parshas Behar (5765)
By Mordechai Dolinsky
Shmita was chosen to reveal the lesson of Sinai as Rashi quotes at the beginning of our parsha. Since agriculture was the mainstay of our economical existence it can be fulfilled only through complete self-sacrifice–thus Hashem expected absolute commitment. So too the fulfillment, accomplishment and realization of doing the true Will of Hashem involves complete devotion and self-sacrifice.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
