Body: I have seen a person who is diligent in his work for Heaven’s sake, my friend, who is sharp and knowledgeable, G-d-fearing and complete, Avraham Shimon Yermah. He is one of our dear brothers who has settled the holy soil in the agricultural settlement of Petach Tikva. He has been inspired to organize a fair share of the laws of tithing and other critical halachot, in an orderly fashion and with clear language, for the benefit of our brethren who work the sacred soil and those who inhabit it.
I went over a significant part of his writing and found his words to be accurate and insightful, as he based himself on the words of our rabbis, the poskim from the periods of the Rishonim (1000-1500) and Acharonim (1500 and on). Sometimes he added on an additional element of his own, using sound logic. The few things I thought deserved critical comment are presented within the book.

Since his interest in this project is fully for Heaven’s sake, to strengthen the Torah and mitzva observance, and not for money, which he is not lacking, we should thank him and bless him for his efforts in writing on the topic. We should view it like a "fire-offering" by the author and a blessing for our brethren who live in the Land of Life.
May Hashem show him national liberation in the near future, so that we can see the return of all of Israel to the Holy Land with all its inhabitants, to fulfill the mitzvot of the Land as they were given, with the grand edifices restored and cities built on top of their ruins. May those redeemed by Hashem return with eternal joy.
