Kavod Shomrei Shvi�is is the banner for Tuesday�s event expected to attract thousands of shomer shmitah farmers, who are about to mark the end of their observance of the mitzvah.
Today�s event is intended to honor the farmers from the southern and central regions, those who made their fields ?hefker� and agreed to comply with the stringencies and fiscal realities of keeping the mitzvah as detailed by Gedolei HaDor Shlita. The participants in Tuesday�s event will gather in Pecan Gardens in Netivot at 4:00PM, organized by Keren Shvi�is. Another gathering will be held on Sunday (21 Elul) in Afula for northern area farmers.
A full seudas mitzvah will be held, and gedolei yisrael will address the forum organizers report.
A number of Gedolim and Askanim have traveled to Eretz Yisrael to take part in the shmitah events, including Rav Azriel Shechter from London, head of the London Keren Shvi�is and Rav Shmuel Blum of Agudas Yisrael in the United States and among the great shmitah activists on behalf of shomrei shvi�is farmers in Eretz Yisrael.
Rabbonim have words of praise for the farmers, who they say exhibited great misirus nefesh to uphold the kedusha of the mitzvah of shmitah.
