Rav Shmuel Eliyahu Chief Rabbi of Tzfat Planting trees with Zo Artzeinu in Reichan רייכן in the Shomron creating new life, new mitzvos and helping support and settle the holy land of Israel making it grow and flourish.

Excerpt translated from a letter written by HaRav Hagaon Yaakov Ariel shlita , leading Posek on the Mitzvos of Agriculture in the Holy Land, author of dozens Halachic Seforim (books) on this subject, former Chief Rav of Ramat Gan and Rosh (directing head of) Machon Torah VeHa'aretz.

“...it is appropriate that everyone in the world partner with a farmer in Israel to fulfill the mitzvah of Shmittah, and through this partnership HE KEEPS THE MITZVAH AS WELL because the land belongs to us all...

I therefore bless the efforts of Zo Artzeinu’s Sh’mittah Campaign”
