Hundreds of men and women from a wide range of community kehillot came together this week to hear from the giants of Hilchos Shemittah, from Mechon HaTorah VeHa’aretz. The kennes was arranged to provide an understanding of how Shemittah can be kept on a stringent level of Halacha, while at the same time confronting and solving the issues at hand.

The kennes, completely in Hebrew, was simultaneously translated into English, with assistance from Best Market.

You can now download and listen to the Hebrew sichot and English translation from the kennes at http://shiurim.btya.org/sub.aspx?name=KennesShmitta. Right click and choose “Save As” to save on your computer. The Hebrew sichot are in separate files, whereas the English is one long file.

We are very grateful to Best Market for assisting with the funding for the English translation. If you appreciate it, tell Effi when you see him! Also, with thanks to Mrs. Shlomit Erlich and her partner for providing the wonderful translation.
