South Africa Community

For the first time ever, the South African community has been offered the unique opportunity to participate in this important mitzvah at a rate that has been especially tailored to our needs. Let us join together as a community to take advantage of this opportunity and to unite with Jews throughout the world in this zechus.

Rosh Hashanah is just two weeks away, but Shmitah is still a few months long. How? Just because Shmitah is coming to an end, it doesn’t mean the farmer has a crop to harvest. He may technically be able to plant, but it doesn’t mean he has money for seed. The year may be over, but he’s going to live with the repercussions for months longer. His fields are neglected. His workers are gone. Inflation affected the cost of his lease and price of new seed. The toughest part of Shmitah will be getting back on his feet — but can he manage it?

The farmer didn’t come this far only to fail.

He’s survived the year. Now he needs to recover. Can you help the farmer get back onhis field? Every dollar you give counts. It supports the brave farmers who have kept this difficult mitzvah — even when they had every reason not to.
