The Land That Gives

Every seven years farmers in Eretz Yisroel do not plant or sow their fields. This is a very sacred time because the farmers have to show their belief in G-d by not having a source of income for the year of Shemitah or the year after. Shmittah is a big segulah for getting teffilos answered because the farmers know that they do not have a way to support themselves but they still believe in G-d that they will get money somehow. Our project shows an almost empty field to symbolize how the farms look during shemitah. There are very few crops and it is very dry. We placed a torah in the center to show the farmers' belief in g-o-d and the torah. We put our pasuk on the torah, וְנָ ְתָ֤נה וֲַע ִׂשי ֶת ֙ם ֶאת ֻחּקֹ ַ֔תי וְ ֶאת ִמ ְׁש ָּפַ֥טי ִּת ְׁש ְמ֖רּו וֲַע ִׂשי ֶ֣תם אָֹ֑תם ִוֽי ַׁש ְב ֶּ֥תם ַעל ָהָ֖אֶרץ ָלֶ ֽב ַטח׃ My observe shall you Andָ ה ָ֙אֶרץ ִּפ ְר֔יָּה וֲַא ַכ ְל ֶּ֖תם ָל ׂ֑שֹ ַבע ִוֽי ַׁש ְב ֶּ֥תם ָלֶ֖ב ַטח ָעֶ ֽלי ָה׃ statutes, and My judgments shall you keep and do them, and you shall dwell on the land secure. And the land will give its fruit, and you will eat to satiety, and you will dwell securely thereon. This pasuk explains that those who observe shemitah correctly will merit to be satisfied from their crops and they will live by their fields in security.
