This requirement is stated in pasuk 10: “‫– ְוְ ִקִ ַּד ְּׁׁשֶּתּ ם ֵאֵ ת ְׁׁשַנַת ַהַ ֲחֲ ִמִ ִּׁשים ָׁשָנָה‬ You shall sanctify the fiftieth year,” and parallels the Torah’s instructions to the Beis Din regarding the establishment of Yom Tov,4 “‫ – ִמְִקְ ָרָ א ֹק ֶֹדֶׁש ִיְִהְֶיֶה ָלָ ֶכֶ ם‬It shall be a holy calling for you.” Indeed, this distinction is further reflected in the respective halachos of these two years. “Your produce” and “its produce” This basic distinction is further reflected in a nuanced reading of the respective pesukim outlines the prohibitions for these two years: Z With regards to the Shemitah year, the Torah states, “‫אֵ ת סְ פִ יחַ קְ צִ ירְ ָך ֹלא תִקְ צו ֹר וְאֶ ת‬ ‫ – עִנְּ בֵ י נְ זִ ירֶ ָך ֹלא תִ בְ צ ֹר‬The growth of your harvest you shall not reap and the grapes of your separation you shall not pick.” 2 Beitzah 17a. 3 The Gemara elsewhere (Berachos 49a) notes that is for this reason the bracha for Shabbos concludes “Blessed are You Hashem, Who sanctifies the Shabbos (‫)מקדש השבת‬,” while the bracha for Yom Tov concludes “Blessed are You Hashem, Who sanctifies Yisrael and the Festive Seasons (‫)מקדש ישראל והזמנים‬.” Namely, whereas with regards to Shabbos, its sanctity comes directly from Hashem, when it comes to Yom Tov, Hashem sanctifies Yisrael – who then sanctify the seasons. Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein • Meshech Chochmah Behar - Shemitah and Yovel | 2 Z With regards to the Yovel year it states, “ ָ‫– וְ ֹלא תִקְ צְרּו אֶ ת סְ פִ יחֶ יהָ וְ ֹלא תִ בְ צְרּו אֶ ת נְ זִרֶ יה‬ You shall not harvest its growth and you shall not pick its grapes.” We note that with regards to the Shemitah year, the Torah refers to “Your harvest” and “your separation,” while with regards to the Yovel year the reference is to “its growth” and “its separation.” This shift in phraseology reflects the difference between these two years.
