Immediately after the section dealing with Shemitah/Yovel we read [Vayikra 25:25], “If your brother becomes impoverished and sells of his ancestral heritage, his redeemer who is closest to him shall come and redeem his brother’s sale.” There is a halacha in the Torah that if a person really falls on hard times and then, as a measure of last resort, needs to sell his ancestral property in Eretz Yisrael, ideally, a relative who can afford to do so should come and try to buy back the family property from the purchaser. Regarding myself, “I need to worry about my retirement, my children and my grandchildren.” However, when I am approached about a family in the community who is in dire straits, who is going to be foreclosed and who cannot put food on the table for the children, the attitude is “Nu – Hashem will help, we need to have bitachon!” This phenomenon is not uncommon. I know his situation, and I do not say “Don’t worry, the Almighty will take care of you.” Rav Yaakov Yosef further explains the juxtaposition between the parsha of Shemitah and the parsha of “When your brother becomes poor…” The meforshim say that Shemitah is the prototype of bitachon in the Torah. Regarding somebody else, the proper attitude is “I need to provide, and if I do not, who will provide for him?” 5 The Reward Does Not Fall Far from the Apple Sanctity A person by the name of Rav Asher Anschel Eckstein, a Dayan in the Belzer Community in Jerusalem, told the following story, which he heard with his own ears from the family members involved in the story. Finally, she told her: “You know what, I would like to show my appreciation for your years of loyalty to our family – please take this bag of apples for your family.” This was not much of a going away present, but it was all she had at the moment when she needed to come up with something. The first Medrash Rabbah in Parshas Bechukosai links the opening pasuk of the parsha, “If you will follow My decrees and observe My commandments and perform them; then I will provide your rains in their time, and the land will give its produce
