Yes, we know you’re not a farmer.

And you don’t live in Eretz Yisrael.

But you still can do the mitzvah of Shmita!

People have always believed that ONLY farmers working agricultural land in the sixth year of the cycle can completely fulfill the mitzvah of Shmita in the seventh year. 

This is not TRUE! 

People also believed that Shmita was always an unaffordable and inaccessible Mitzvah. Agudat Shmita under the haskamos of Gedolei Yisrael have  completely changed that. 

Agudat Shmita offers the most Halachically Mehudar solution!

Who fulfills the mitzvah of Shmita?

• You need to personally own land in Israel
• The land has to actively be used for agriculture
• All work must be halted on the land for the entirety of the Shmita year
• Must be Mafkir the land (renders it ownerless)

Then you have fulfilled the mitzvah of Shmita!

It seems like this would be hard but it is now ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE

Starting at $30 a month/12 months.

The organization’s founders recently met with the Gadol Hador, Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, for his blessings before the Shmita arrives.

This is the third Shmita cycle in which Agudat Shmita is in operation, and from its inception, Rav Kanievsky Shlita has supported the cause and urged others to purchase land. He was very impressed by the opportunity to enable Jews from all over the world to keep Shmita properly, in accordance with the strictest halachic guidelines. A video of Maran Sar HaTorah, Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita, before the last Shmita year, in a question & answer session with Agudat Shmita’s directors
