The Haredi Boycott of Heter Mechira Fruits is Unsustainable

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Tamuz 8 5775


Revivim

The History of the Heter Mechira

The heter mechira came about in the first shmitta year, 5649 (1888), after thousands of years in exile. Some opposing poskim changed their positions when they saw how urgent the situation was. Anti-Zionism caused more opposition.

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Tamuz 1 5775

Does the biblical prohibition in the title of the article contradict the application of heter mechira (selling land temporarily to a non-Jew during the shmitta year).

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed | Sivan 10 5775
