The Reason for the Sabbatical Year
Question
Have a good week, Rabbi,
What do you think is the reason for the commandment of the Sabbatical year, and do you think the sale permit is valid even in a case where the Sabbatical year applies at the Torah level?
Best regards,
Answer
I don’t know. A great deal has been written about this, and I don’t deal with the reasons for the commandments.
In my opinion, this permit is valid even on the Torah level.
