As Aaron and Yosef grew too old for
Camp Stone they were left with an
abyss in their hearts and souls.
Looking for a way to fill that, they
turned to the culinary arts.
In this chug, we are elevating the
standard "never-ending breakfast"
and taking a modern look at fine
chutz cuisine. Join us on a culinary

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

 

INTRODUCTION:  
 
Welcome to Indoor World ​chavrutot!​ Throughout the Indoor World journey, we’ll have the 
opportunity to explore different units that discuss instances where there were HUGE changes, and 
how these changes and challenges allow us to think about how Jewish communities respond to 
interruptions in what is normal.  
 
For the next few days, this first unit will look at two big “interruptions” to daily life. One of them is a 
challenge that is created because the Torah says so, and the other is a natural disaster that we can’t 
control. These topics are: 
1. Shemittah and Yovel, and: 
2. Famines. 
 
You and your chavruta will look at sources that relate to these topics and discuss some of the ways the 
Jewish communities responded to these events. You’ll have the opportunity to think about the fact 
that the Torah requires us to change our lives every seven years, and the ways in which that can be 
challenging and ways that it helps us recognize what is important.  
 
You’ll also look at ways communities respond to famine, and reflect the actions that we can take when 
things seem to be beyond our control. Throughout the process, questions will arise about how we 
respond to challenges as individuals, as well as how we respond as members of our immediate and 
more global communities.  
 
Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy the clips and memes along the way!  
 
 

 

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

SHIUR 1: 

 
One of the greatest gifts people can have, is the ability to be free. For example, ​see​ how exciting it was 
for Dobby to become a free elf (watch from 0:40):  
 

 

 
That’s one of the reasons why Yovel (which you’ll learn more about below) was such an exciting event. 
Every 50 years, all Jewish slaves became free. At the same time, Shemiitah and Yovel also have laws that 
limit working the land which has the potential to hurt the food supply.  
 
Most of us can remember being hungry - often in the post-lunch pre-dinner part of the day when we 
need something to snack on (and we don’t have shekem), or maybe if we fasted on one of the fast days. 
Recently, being hungry has hit closer to home than just the pre-shekem munchies. When schools 
closed a few months ago, all of a sudden students who relied on their schools to give them food ​do not 
have lunch​. In families where there isn’t always enough money, the cost of food can mean people are 
forced to skip meals. All of a sudden, a crisis arose and the things that were a given became a question.  
 
There’s a fairly simple equation that exists:  
No food = bad 
Seems pretty obvious, right?  
 
The thing is, the Torah asks us to keep the laws of Shemittah and Yovel, which can result in lowering 
the food supply. The Torah tells us to stop working the land, even though the result of that might be 
having much less than we are used to. What is there to learn from Shemittah and Yovel if they are so 
disruptive and diminish our access to food? How do we embrace something that challenges that way 
we are used to living our life?  
 
First we need to figure out what exactly the rules of Shemittah and Yovel are, and how keeping them 
can result in limitations on food.  
 

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

Vayikra 25 
The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai: 
Speak to the Israelite people and say to them: 
When you enter the land that I assign to you, the 
land shall observe a sabbath of the LORD. Six 
years you may sow your field and six years you 
may prune your vineyard and gather in the yield. 
But in the seventh year the land shall have a 
sabbath of complete rest, a sabbath of the 
LORD: you shall not sow your field or prune 
your vineyard. You shall not reap the 
aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes 
of your untrimmed vines; it shall be a year of 
complete rest for the land... 
and you shall hallow the fiftieth year. You shall 
proclaim release throughout the land for all its 
inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you: each of 
you shall return to his holding and each of you 
shall return to his family. That fiftieth year shall 
be a jubilee for you: you shall not sow, neither 
shall you reap the aftergrowth or harvest the 
untrimmed vines.. 
And should you ask, “What are we to eat in the 
seventh year, if we may neither sow nor gather in 
our crops?” I will ordain My blessing for you in 
the sixth year, so that it shall yield a crop 
sufficient for three years. When you sow in the 
eighth year, you will still be eating old grain of 
that crop; you will be eating the old until the 
ninth year, until its crops come in.

The Torah describes two systems that both require stopping to work fields:  
1. Shemittah: Every 7 years, the land rests 
2. Yovel: Every 50th year, the land rests 
If no one is allowed to plant, that means that the amount of food produced will be much less. How 
does the Torah address this concern? What promise does it make?  
 
● Other than the resting of the land, what other parts are there to Shemittah and Yovel?  
● What does the main goal of Shemittah and Yovel seem to be when we consider all these 
different parts? 
● What are the costs of not working the land of the year? What benefits might there be?  

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

● Why is it important to have a whole year of “shabbat?” 

 
While Shemittah and Yovel can cause difficulty in food production, they also allow people who are 
sinking into poverty to get a leg up. How do Shemittah and Yovel serve as Tzedakah and as a tool to 
even the playing field?  
 
Think about what the advantages of Shemittah and Yovel are - what do they teach us? Look 
specifically at the psukim 20-21 and think about the level of trust that it asks from us. Now, look at the 
following piece from the Sefer HaChinuch who describes some of the goals of Shemittah.  
 
Sefer HaChinuch 89, Mitzvah of Shemittah  
Therefore God commanded us to give up all 
‫ולכן צוה ברוך הוא להפקיר כל מה שתוציא הארץ‬
that the land produces in this year - in addition 
‫ כדי שיזכור האדם‬,‫בשנה זו מלבד השביתה בה‬
to resting during it (i.e. during the year) - so that 
,‫כי הארץ שמוציאה אליו הפירות בכל שנה ושנה‬
a person will remember that the land which 
‫ כי יש אדון עליה‬,‫לא בכוחה וסגולתה תוציא אותם‬
produces fruits for him every year does not 
‫ וכשהוא חפץ מצוה עליו להפקירם‬,‫ועל אדוניה‬.
produce them by its [own] might and virtue. For 
there is a Master over it… 
‫ לקנות בזה מידת‬,‫ועוד יש תועלת נמצא בדבר‬
 
‫ כי אין נדיב כנותן מבלי תקוה אל הגמול‬,‫הוותרנות‬
And there is another benefit in this matter - to 
.
acquire the trait of letting go (i.e. of one's 
possessions), for there is no one more generous 
‫ שיוסיף האדם‬,‫ועוד יש תועלת אחר נמצא בזה‬
than he who gives without hope for being paid 
‫ כי כל המוצא עם לבבו לתת‬,‫ביטחון בשם יתברך‬
back.  
‫ולהפקיר לעולם כל גידולי קרקעותיו ונחלת אבותיו‬
 
‫הגדלים בכל שנה אחת ומלמד בכך הוא וכל‬
And there is another benefit - the outcome of 
‫ לא תחזק בו לעולם מידת‬,‫המשפחה כל ימיו‬
this is that a person will add to his trust in God, 
‫הכילות הרבה ולא מיעוט הביטחון‬.
may He be blessed, since anyone who finds it in 
his heart to give and abandon to the world all of 
the produce of his lands and his ancestral 
inheritance for an entire year - and educates 
himself and his family through this for all of his 
days - will never have the trait of stinginess 
overcome him too much, nor will he have a 
deficient amount of trust. 
 
● What are three lessons that Shemittah helps us learn? Are they all independent answers, or how 
do they connect? Do they all point to one bigger idea?  
● What advantages are there to changing up our normal routines? 
● Why is it so important to “let things go?” What are the risks of thinking we’re always in 
control?   

 
In more modern times, when many people started farming the land of Israel, they realized how

difficult and disruptive Shemittah can be to the goal of settling the land. They faced real scary 
consequences of not being able to survive, and one solution, that Rav Kook endorses below, allows for 
people to avoid Shemittah by selling their fields to non-Jews. Even though the Torah asks us to change 
our lifestyle every seven years, other values come into play that respond to the difficulties of this 
request.  
 
Mishpat Kohen 63, Rav Kook 
By strengthening our Jewish brothers’ settlement in the 
Holy Land, the Redemption will come closer… this 
[selling the land to avoid Shemittah] could be like 
violating one Shabbat [to save a person’s life] so that 
someone could [live to] keep many more Shabbatot. 
And since the stringency of Shemittah would hurt 
settlement, and many would be less willing to buy land 
[in Israel], as I know many people in the Diaspora are 
saying that, since the berakhah of the Land, that it will 
produce three years’ worth of food, has not yet 
happened, it is impossible to rest [for Sehmittah]. And 
if they do work the Land, they will violate the words of 
the Torah. As a result, they stay away from the Holy 
Land. But, if we tell them that, given the 
circumstances, there are ways to allow [working the 
Land during Shemittah], and these leniencies are not as 
weak as some of the other leniencies that we commonly 
rely on (like issues of Glatt and Ḥadash, where we rely 
on individual’s opinions against the majority), then 
they will want to come, and with this increase in people 
returning to Israel the Heavenly Berakhah will increase 
and bring Redemption, and then we will definitely be 
free from blame [for getting around Shemittah], in that 
we will be paid back for all of our troubles, and from 
the need to rely on weak leniencies.

Rav Kook allows people to use halakhic ways to avoid needing to keep Shemittah.  
● If we practically find a way to “get out” of shemittah, do we miss out on all the lessons of 
Shemittah?  
● What are the other values that we protect when we prioritize working the land over Shemittah?  
 
Conclusion:  
● Shemittah and Yovel provide many challenges and opportunities. What are the most 
important elements? 
● What lessons do Shemittah and Yovel teach us?  
● What values can emerge when we are forbidden from doing what we normally do and being

The Two Censuses

THE WINNING MEMES!
We were so happy to see amazing submissions, and are
honored to present the top three!

First Place!
Elisheva
Greene

3rd Place!
Yedidya
Swirsky

2nd Place!
Elisheva
Greene

From the PUNivitcher Rav

First Aliya

1) Where do we see that Hashem wants mussaf of Rosh Hashana
davening to be indoors so as not to have the chazzan be overly
exposed to the sun?
2) Apparently, Bnei Yisrael went to the ballots to decide which other
nation was their favorite. What did Moshe and Elazar choose?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
•In last week’s Parsha, the Torah tells us that a Jewish man took a Midyanite woman in
front of Bnei Yisrael, prompting Pinchas to kill him and stop a plague that Hashem sent
against Bnei Yisrael. The Torah only tells us the name of the man and the woman in
this week’s Parsha, after Hashem has given Pinchas a special covenant. Why the wait?
Why not tell us their names the first time we hear of them?
•Hashem tells Moshe to go to war against Midyan for conspiring against Bnei Yisrael
to commit Avodah Zarah with Ba’al Pe’or and for the incident with Kozbi Bat Tzur.
However, in last week’s Parsha, it seems like those who prompted the Ba’al Pe’or
debacle were Moav, not Midyan. Why, then, were Bnei Yisrael supposed to go to war
against Midyan?

From the PUNivitcher Rav
1) What did the rude son say to his parents after getting his
driver’s license?
2) Unknown to many, but Korach performed in the circus.
What dangerous act did he do?

Second Aliya

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
•In the chart above (on the Parsha Activities page), you can see that most of the tribes
have roughly similar numbers between the census here and the previous census 38
years earlier in Parshat Bamidbar. However, the tribe of Shimon lost 37,100 men. Why
might this be? What events have we seen in previous parshiyot that could cause such a
loss?
•Bamidbar 26:19 tells us that Yehudah had two sons, Er and Onan, but that they died
in Canaan. This is surprising, especially considering that some tribes have families who
go unmentioned, such as Ohad the son of Shimon. It is possible that these families
died out, but then why are Yehudah’s sons, who had no descendants, mentioned?

Third Aliya

From the PUNivitcher Rav

1) Where do we see that God didn’t really want korbanot, just for
us to post pictures with captions on His behalf?
2) How do we know that for every goat we give Hashem, He
promises us two?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• Hashem tells Moshe to split up Eretz Yisrael proportionally, with the greater
population getting a bigger inheritance. But he then says to split it up the land with a
lottery, which would seem to be random. How does this work out? (Check Rashi for
one answer.)
• The daughters of Tzelofchad say that their father “died of his own sin” (27:3). Wasn’t
his entire generation going to die in the desert except for Yehoshua and Kalev? Why
did the daughters of Tzelofchad feel the need to mention that their father didn’t
commit the same sin as everyone else?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

1) Which leader of Bnei Yisrael had a letter for a father?
2) A school took a group of students on a tour of a paper factory.
They got very excited when they saw the paper, and everyone showed
their appreciation by ooing and ahhing. What did they all say?

Fourth Aliya

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
•Hashem tells Moshe the laws of inheritance when people have no sons to inherit their
land, and then elaborates, explaining what happens if they have no children at all or
no close relatives. He only does this, however, after Moshe asks him what to do
about Benot Tzelofchad, who had no brothers. Why didn’t Hashem teach Moshe all
the laws of inheritance before a situation like this would arise? Why did he wait until
after Benot Tzelofchad came to Moshe?
•It says in 27:23 that Moshe leaned his hands on Yehoshua in order to inaugurate him
as his successor (called ‫ סְמִיכָה‬in Hebrew). We find a similar practice that whenever
someone would bring an animal korban, he/she would learn their hands upon it first
(Vayikra 3:2, for example). Furthermore, many parents today lean their hands on
their children when they bless them on Shabbat evening. What is so significant about
leaning your hands on someone (or something)?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

Fifth Aliya

1) Where does the Torah instruct us to pour
copious amounts of a Viking drink onto the
Mizbeach?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• It says in 28:6 that the Korban Tamid, which is brought every single day in the
morning and evening, is related to the “Tamid olah that was made on Mount
Sinai.” (An olah is a korban that is burned completely and not eaten by anyone.) It
was back in Shemot 24:5 when Bnei Yisrael brought korbanot while standing at
Sinai. What could be the connection between the Korban Tamid and Mount Sinai?
• The Torah instructs us to bring a Korban Chatat on Rosh Chodesh (28:15), and later,
instructs us to bring one for many other holidays as well. Why do we need to bring a
Chatat to atone for our sins on a holiday (but not on shabbat)?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

1) There was once a shepherd who was driving his goats across the
plains too fast and the goats were tiring. His assistant told him to stop.
What did the assistant say?

Sixth Aliya

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• The Torah calls Shavuot “Yom HaBikkurim,” “the holiday of the first-fruits” (28:26) in
our Aliyah. What is the reason for this unusual name? What does this name teach us
about the nature of the holiday of Shavuot?
• The first time all 5 chagim are mentioned is in Parshat Emor. There, the Torah tells us
about the holiness of each day and each day’s mitzvot. Our Parsha, meanwhile,
mainly deals with the korbanot Mussaf of each holiday. So you would have expected
the phrase “Yom Teruah yihyeh lachem” (BeMidbar 29:1) in Emor, but all that is
written in Emor is “Zichron Teruah (VaYikra 23:24).” Why is the mitzvah of the day
given in Pinchas but not in Emor?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

Seventh Aliya

1) A man was visiting a fine china store but he kept breaking everything.
The owner brought him 3 issaron of flour. The man said,“Do you take me
for a bull sir?!” Why did the owner bring the man 3 issaron of flour
(which is the amount of the mincha that accompanies a bull korban)?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• A total of 70 bulls are brought as korbanot on Sukkot. The Gemara (Sukka 55b) says
that these correspond to the 70 nations of the world. As well, we find in the Navi
Zechariah (14:16) that in the future, all the nations will come to Yerushalayim to
celebrate Sukkot. What could be the connection between Sukkot and the nations of the
world?
• Shemini Atzeret happens right after Sukkot and is a separate holiday. Thus, we do not
eat or sleep in the sukka on Shemini Atzeret. The korbanot of Shemini Atzeret include
one bull (29:36). If the 70 bulls of the preceding holiday of Sukkot correspond to the
nations of the world, what might the single bull of Shemini Atzeret correspond to?

Meet the Rashei Moshava
As we ponder different leaders in this
week’s Parsha, we turn to reflect on the
greatness of some of our own leaders.
Behold, for the first time ever, an exclusive
interview with the mother of each of our
Rashei Moshava!
Shalhevet
Why the name?

-Full
name
is
Shalhevetya Zehava
Meidan Schwartz, main
name Shalhevetya
because she was born
on Chanuka, and all the
name options were really about the festival of
lights.


Funny story incident?

-When she was under 2 her brothers taught
her to say that the Yankees were the best
team in baseball, and that Jeter was the best
player, and that she was “articulate”, and she
would go around rehearsing those lines. A
better story, when she was 4, she had a doll
(a little bear with a yellow coat) called
“Canalopa” who was neither a boy nor a girl
doll, it was just Canalopa. No matter how
hard her brothers tried they couldn’t get her
to associate it with gender.

First word?

-Ar-tic-u-late (Not a joke people)


Story of getting into trouble?
-Didn’t really happen! Other than that time in
third grade when Shalhevet didn’t let a girl
who was bullied to sit next to her on the bus,
and the girl’s mom emailed me asking if
Shalhevet can let her sit with her. That (in my
opinion) was a pivotal moment in her life
when I impressed upon her that she can
never be mean to other people.


What did you think she would be when
she grew up?

-I honestly thought she would be a COO of a
company, as she is one of the bossiest
people I know, but so talented at it! So good

at working with groups of people and making
decisions! (If I had it my way she would go to
Wall Street and make millions of dollars, and
then donate some to the Jewish community.)


How would you describe her in one word?

-Oh My Goodness... [Consults with dad]... We
would have to say—intense.


Why did you decide to send her to Stone?

-NO VISITING DAYS! I HATE VISITING DAYS!


First job at camp?

“I don’t remember... Madricha? Actually I’m
pretty sure it was Beit Midrash, come on, it
was Shalhevet, Beit Midrash. I think.”


What makes you most proud of her?

Lots and lots of things, but especially how
she sticks to her values, even when people
around her make it hard for her.


How helpful were they during quarantine?
What were her hours?

-Hmm... Some days she was quite helpful,
and some quite not. Her hours were late, 2-3
AM, but she always woke up for Davening on
time, even if it meant she went back to sleep
after till “erratic” hours.


Do they wear Camp apparel outside of
camp?

-She does, but only when I’m not looking,
because it horrifies me! That stuff is ugly!
Really no offense guys. So either when I’m
not looking or as PJs.


Fact that we didn’t know about her?

“Did you know she was a pitcher in her
Middle School Softball league? You also
probably didn’t know her name hits doubledigit syllables!”


Aryeh
Why the name?

You started out with a
great question and one of
Aryeh’s pet peeves. Fun
fact: his name is actually
Eliyahu Aryeh (legally) but
we decided to call him
Aryeh, which annoys him
to no end. He is named
after a great grandfather,

Aryeh.


What’s a funny story from when he was a
baby/little kid?

-What isn’t? Aryeh has gone through a lot of
amusing phases. In elementary school, he
would bounce down the stairs and announce
“Never fear, cuz Aryeh’s here!” (and usually
crash into a wall at the end).

And when he was really young (say 2ish), he
passed out a couple of times running around
with his brother and falling off a bed. Luckily,
he seems to have outgrown that.


What was his first word?

-No recollection. But it probably involved a
snack. ;-)


What’s a story that involved him getting in
trouble?

-Not real trouble. Just antics. Always. He
tends to find your button and then repeatedly
and joyfully press it. He claims his motives are
noble in order to help you relax. But big
things... there was that time (not that long
ago!) that he was a counselor in a local day
camp and I got a call from the camp nurse
telling me that Aryeh managed to snip off part
of his fingertip while cutting lanyard. They
cordoned off the lanyard area in the art room
after that and didn’t allow Aryeh in.


What did you think your child would be
when he grew up?

-He either wanted to drive an ice cream truck
or a flower delivery truck (his brother would
be running the flower store). He still has
dreams of owning a pickup truck.


How would you describe your child in one
word?
-Indescribable.


Why did you decide to send him to Stone?
I didn’t. :-) His Gush friends recruited him. I
had never heard of Stone.


What was their first job in Stone?
-Madrich


What makes you most proud of your child?

Despite his lighthearted and fun exterior,
Aryeh is a deeply caring and sensitive young
man who is bright and tries to bring true joy to
those around him.


How helpful was he during quarantine?
What were his hours? (Like when they
went to sleep and woke up)

-Aryeh spent most of quarantine finishing up
his college work and prepping for Stone. It
didn’t leave him much time to help, but he did
sweep and Swiffer before Shabbos. He kept
pretty normal hours (for him, anyway). He also
enjoyed joking about coronavirus germs,
which wasn’t that funny as he actually had it
early on.


What’s a fact we probably don’t know
about him?

-He asked us to buy him a unicycle and he
tried to learn to ride it. All was going well until
it shot out from under him and made a huge
hole in one of our inside doors.


Does he wear camp stone apparel outside
of camp? For what occasion?

-Any occasion is an occasion to wear Stone
swag. We finally had to buy him new T-shirts,
put them on the top of his laundry pile and
bury the Stone-wear (especially the pukecolored one: Aryeh knows what I’m talking
about).


Elisha
Why the
name?

-Full name is
Elisha
Nechemia,
Elisha
because we
loved the
name :)


What’s a
funny story from when he was a baby/little
kid?

-When he was young I was with him at ToysR-Us, and he got lost. After a while of
searching for him he showed up, I said “Oh
My Gosh Elisha, where were you?” and he
responded- “don’t worry mommy, I knew
where I was!”


What was his first word?

-They must have been: “Oh, hello!”. It’s still
his go-to till this day.


What’s a story that involved him getting in
trouble?
-He never got into trouble, but he had a friend
in school who was also named Elisha, and

whenever a teacher called me starting going
on about some misdemeanor, we first had to
clarify which Elisha it was: something the
teachers weren’t always sure of. That
probably saved both of them on several
occasions.


What did you think he would be when they
grew up?
-Of course, we wanted him to be Rosh Mosh,
and when he’s finished with that we hope for
him to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.


How would you describe him in one word?
-Adventurous


Why did you decide to send him to stone?

-This year specifically to watch him cross the
border on foot, but in general, it’s just the best
camp out there!


What was his first job in Stone?


-A lifeguard. Camp seems to have a knack for
hiring Canadian lifeguards, as we have high
standards.


What makes you most proud of him?

-Most proud of his ability to know what the
right thing to do and to do it.


How helpful were they during quarantine?
What were his hours? (Like when they went
to sleep and woke up)
-Elisha is actually a cooking prodigy, he
makes falafel and pasta from scratch! So he
really helped us out with that. As for when he
was awake, Elisha lives in Australian time. For
Australia, he was awake from 7 AM to 11 PM.


What’s a fact we probably don’t know
about him?

-Despite his red hair, he has brown eyebrows!


Does he wear camp stone apparel outside
of camp? For what occasion?

-Elisha wears Stonewear for all “at homecasual” events, and all summer long, Not
quite sure if he has any other summer clothes.


Special circumstances call for special
questions: What do you really think of his
quarantine hair/beard?

-Honestly it’s trend-setting. It’s just a higher
form of human life, which you can see in this
diagram.


And finally...
What have they really been up
to in camp this week?
Yaakov Fleischman is still trying to
pull off his 25 shirts.

Ariel Braun is raiding the shekem
shack.

Roni Etshalom is on a search for
every piece of broccoli in the entire

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

 

INTRODUCTION:  
 
Welcome to Indoor World ​chavrutot!​ Throughout the Indoor World journey, we’ll have the 
opportunity to explore different units that discuss instances where there were HUGE changes, and 
how these changes and challenges allow us to think about how Jewish communities respond to 
interruptions in what is normal.  
 
For the next few days, this first unit will look at two big “interruptions” to daily life. One of them is a 
challenge that is created because the Torah says so, and the other is a natural disaster that we can’t 
control. These topics are: 
1. Shemittah and Yovel, and: 
2. Famines. 
 
You and your chavruta will look at sources that relate to these topics and discuss some of the ways the 
Jewish communities responded to these events. You’ll have the opportunity to think about the fact 
that the Torah requires us to change our lives every seven years, and the ways in which that can be 
challenging and ways that it helps us recognize what is important.  
 
You’ll also look at ways communities respond to famine, and reflect the actions that we can take when 
things seem to be beyond our control. Throughout the process, questions will arise about how we 
respond to challenges as individuals, as well as how we respond as members of our immediate and 
more global communities.  
 
Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy the clips and memes along the way!  
 
 

 

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

SHIUR 1: 

 
One of the greatest gifts people can have, is the ability to be free. For example, ​see​ how exciting it was 
for Dobby to become a free elf (watch from 0:40):  
 

 

 
That’s one of the reasons why Yovel (which you’ll learn more about below) was such an exciting event. 
Every 50 years, all Jewish slaves became free. At the same time, Shemiitah and Yovel also have laws that 
limit working the land which has the potential to hurt the food supply.  
 
Most of us can remember being hungry - often in the post-lunch pre-dinner part of the day when we 
need something to snack on (and we don’t have shekem), or maybe if we fasted on one of the fast days. 
Recently, being hungry has hit closer to home than just the pre-shekem munchies. When schools 
closed a few months ago, all of a sudden students who relied on their schools to give them food ​do not 
have lunch​. In families where there isn’t always enough money, the cost of food can mean people are 
forced to skip meals. All of a sudden, a crisis arose and the things that were a given became a question.  
 
There’s a fairly simple equation that exists:  
No food = bad 
Seems pretty obvious, right?  
 
The thing is, the Torah asks us to keep the laws of Shemittah and Yovel, which can result in lowering 
the food supply. The Torah tells us to stop working the land, even though the result of that might be 
having much less than we are used to. What is there to learn from Shemittah and Yovel if they are so 
disruptive and diminish our access to food? How do we embrace something that challenges that way 
we are used to living our life?  
 
First we need to figure out what exactly the rules of Shemittah and Yovel are, and how keeping them 
can result in limitations on food.  
 

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

Vayikra 25 
The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai: 
Speak to the Israelite people and say to them: 
When you enter the land that I assign to you, the 
land shall observe a sabbath of the LORD. Six 
years you may sow your field and six years you 
may prune your vineyard and gather in the yield. 
But in the seventh year the land shall have a 
sabbath of complete rest, a sabbath of the 
LORD: you shall not sow your field or prune 
your vineyard. You shall not reap the 
aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes 
of your untrimmed vines; it shall be a year of 
complete rest for the land... 
and you shall hallow the fiftieth year. You shall 
proclaim release throughout the land for all its 
inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you: each of 
you shall return to his holding and each of you 
shall return to his family. That fiftieth year shall 
be a jubilee for you: you shall not sow, neither 
shall you reap the aftergrowth or harvest the 
untrimmed vines.. 
And should you ask, “What are we to eat in the 
seventh year, if we may neither sow nor gather in 
our crops?” I will ordain My blessing for you in 
the sixth year, so that it shall yield a crop 
sufficient for three years. When you sow in the 
eighth year, you will still be eating old grain of 
that crop; you will be eating the old until the 
ninth year, until its crops come in.

The Torah describes two systems that both require stopping to work fields:  
1. Shemittah: Every 7 years, the land rests 
2. Yovel: Every 50th year, the land rests 
If no one is allowed to plant, that means that the amount of food produced will be much less. How 
does the Torah address this concern? What promise does it make?  
 
● Other than the resting of the land, what other parts are there to Shemittah and Yovel?  
● What does the main goal of Shemittah and Yovel seem to be when we consider all these 
different parts? 
● What are the costs of not working the land of the year? What benefits might there be?  

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

● Why is it important to have a whole year of “shabbat?” 

 
While Shemittah and Yovel can cause difficulty in food production, they also allow people who are 
sinking into poverty to get a leg up. How do Shemittah and Yovel serve as Tzedakah and as a tool to 
even the playing field?  
 
Think about what the advantages of Shemittah and Yovel are - what do they teach us? Look 
specifically at the psukim 20-21 and think about the level of trust that it asks from us. Now, look at the 
following piece from the Sefer HaChinuch who describes some of the goals of Shemittah.  
 
Sefer HaChinuch 89, Mitzvah of Shemittah  
Therefore God commanded us to give up all 
‫ולכן צוה ברוך הוא להפקיר כל מה שתוציא הארץ‬
that the land produces in this year - in addition 
‫ כדי שיזכור האדם‬,‫בשנה זו מלבד השביתה בה‬
to resting during it (i.e. during the year) - so that 
,‫כי הארץ שמוציאה אליו הפירות בכל שנה ושנה‬
a person will remember that the land which 
‫ כי יש אדון עליה‬,‫לא בכוחה וסגולתה תוציא אותם‬
produces fruits for him every year does not 
‫ וכשהוא חפץ מצוה עליו להפקירם‬,‫ועל אדוניה‬.
produce them by its [own] might and virtue. For 
there is a Master over it… 
‫ לקנות בזה מידת‬,‫ועוד יש תועלת נמצא בדבר‬
 
‫ כי אין נדיב כנותן מבלי תקוה אל הגמול‬,‫הוותרנות‬
And there is another benefit in this matter - to 
.
acquire the trait of letting go (i.e. of one's 
possessions), for there is no one more generous 
‫ שיוסיף האדם‬,‫ועוד יש תועלת אחר נמצא בזה‬
than he who gives without hope for being paid 
‫ כי כל המוצא עם לבבו לתת‬,‫ביטחון בשם יתברך‬
back.  
‫ולהפקיר לעולם כל גידולי קרקעותיו ונחלת אבותיו‬
 
‫הגדלים בכל שנה אחת ומלמד בכך הוא וכל‬
And there is another benefit - the outcome of 
‫ לא תחזק בו לעולם מידת‬,‫המשפחה כל ימיו‬
this is that a person will add to his trust in God, 
‫הכילות הרבה ולא מיעוט הביטחון‬.
may He be blessed, since anyone who finds it in 
his heart to give and abandon to the world all of 
the produce of his lands and his ancestral 
inheritance for an entire year - and educates 
himself and his family through this for all of his 
days - will never have the trait of stinginess 
overcome him too much, nor will he have a 
deficient amount of trust. 
 
● What are three lessons that Shemittah helps us learn? Are they all independent answers, or how 
do they connect? Do they all point to one bigger idea?  
● What advantages are there to changing up our normal routines? 
● Why is it so important to “let things go?” What are the risks of thinking we’re always in 
control?   

 
In more modern times, when many people started farming the land of Israel, they realized how 

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

difficult and disruptive Shemittah can be to the goal of settling the land. They faced real scary 
consequences of not being able to survive, and one solution, that Rav Kook endorses below, allows for 
people to avoid Shemittah by selling their fields to non-Jews. Even though the Torah asks us to change 
our lifestyle every seven years, other values come into play that respond to the difficulties of this 
request.  
 
Mishpat Kohen 63, Rav Kook 
By strengthening our Jewish brothers’ settlement in the 
Holy Land, the Redemption will come closer… this 
[selling the land to avoid Shemittah] could be like 
violating one Shabbat [to save a person’s life] so that 
someone could [live to] keep many more Shabbatot. 
And since the stringency of Shemittah would hurt 
settlement, and many would be less willing to buy land 
[in Israel], as I know many people in the Diaspora are 
saying that, since the berakhah of the Land, that it will 
produce three years’ worth of food, has not yet 
happened, it is impossible to rest [for Sehmittah]. And 
if they do work the Land, they will violate the words of 
the Torah. As a result, they stay away from the Holy 
Land. But, if we tell them that, given the 
circumstances, there are ways to allow [working the 
Land during Shemittah], and these leniencies are not as 
weak as some of the other leniencies that we commonly 
rely on (like issues of Glatt and Ḥadash, where we rely 
on individual’s opinions against the majority), then 
they will want to come, and with this increase in people 
returning to Israel the Heavenly Berakhah will increase 
and bring Redemption, and then we will definitely be 
free from blame [for getting around Shemittah], in that 
we will be paid back for all of our troubles, and from 
the need to rely on weak leniencies.

Rav Kook allows people to use halakhic ways to avoid needing to keep Shemittah.  
● If we practically find a way to “get out” of shemittah, do we miss out on all the lessons of 
Shemittah?  
● What are the other values that we protect when we prioritize working the land over Shemittah?  
 
Conclusion:  
● Shemittah and Yovel provide many challenges and opportunities. What are the most 
important elements? 
● What lessons do Shemittah and Yovel teach us?  
● What values can emerge when we are forbidden from doing what we normally do and being 

Unit 1, Day 1: Shemittah and Yovel

self-sufficient?

Shabbat Shalom Machane Stone!
It's hard to believe we've already made it
to the last Shabbat of Indoor World! In
the past week, we had Color War
between teams Yoshevei Tevel and Am
Segulah, and spent time with our
chavrutot discussing the impact of the
Enlightenment, as well as the meaning of
Shiva Asar b'Tammuz.
We hope you enjoy this packet full of
discussion questions, puns, interviews
with the moms of the Roshei Moshava
(!!) and more!
Enjoy & Shabbat Shalom!

From the PUNivitcher Rav

First Aliya

1) Where do we see that Hashem wants mussaf of Rosh Hashana
davening to be indoors so as not to have the chazzan be overly
exposed to the sun?
2) Apparently, Bnei Yisrael went to the ballots to decide which other
nation was their favorite. What did Moshe and Elazar choose?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
•In last week’s Parsha, the Torah tells us that a Jewish man took a Midyanite woman in
front of Bnei Yisrael, prompting Pinchas to kill him and stop a plague that Hashem sent
against Bnei Yisrael. The Torah only tells us the name of the man and the woman in
this week’s Parsha, after Hashem has given Pinchas a special covenant. Why the wait?
Why not tell us their names the first time we hear of them?
•Hashem tells Moshe to go to war against Midyan for conspiring against Bnei Yisrael
to commit Avodah Zarah with Ba’al Pe’or and for the incident with Kozbi Bat Tzur.
However, in last week’s Parsha, it seems like those who prompted the Ba’al Pe’or
debacle were Moav, not Midyan. Why, then, were Bnei Yisrael supposed to go to war
against Midyan?

From the PUNivitcher Rav
1) What did the rude son say to his parents after getting his
driver’s license?
2) Unknown to many, but Korach performed in the circus.
What dangerous act did he do?

Second Aliya

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
•In the chart above (on the Parsha Activities page), you can see that most of the tribes
have roughly similar numbers between the census here and the previous census 38
years earlier in Parshat Bamidbar. However, the tribe of Shimon lost 37,100 men. Why
might this be? What events have we seen in previous parshiyot that could cause such a
loss?
•Bamidbar 26:19 tells us that Yehudah had two sons, Er and Onan, but that they died
in Canaan. This is surprising, especially considering that some tribes have families who
go unmentioned, such as Ohad the son of Shimon. It is possible that these families
died out, but then why are Yehudah’s sons, who had no descendants, mentioned?

Third Aliya

From the PUNivitcher Rav

1) Where do we see that God didn’t really want korbanot, just for
us to post pictures with captions on His behalf?
2) How do we know that for every goat we give Hashem, He
promises us two?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• Hashem tells Moshe to split up Eretz Yisrael proportionally, with the greater
population getting a bigger inheritance. But he then says to split it up the land with a
lottery, which would seem to be random. How does this work out? (Check Rashi for
one answer.)
• The daughters of Tzelofchad say that their father “died of his own sin” (27:3). Wasn’t
his entire generation going to die in the desert except for Yehoshua and Kalev? Why
did the daughters of Tzelofchad feel the need to mention that their father didn’t
commit the same sin as everyone else?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

1) Which leader of Bnei Yisrael had a letter for a father?
2) A school took a group of students on a tour of a paper factory.
They got very excited when they saw the paper, and everyone showed
their appreciation by ooing and ahhing. What did they all say?

Fourth Aliya

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
•Hashem tells Moshe the laws of inheritance when people have no sons to inherit their
land, and then elaborates, explaining what happens if they have no children at all or
no close relatives. He only does this, however, after Moshe asks him what to do
about Benot Tzelofchad, who had no brothers. Why didn’t Hashem teach Moshe all
the laws of inheritance before a situation like this would arise? Why did he wait until
after Benot Tzelofchad came to Moshe?
•It says in 27:23 that Moshe leaned his hands on Yehoshua in order to inaugurate him
as his successor (called ‫ סְמִיכָה‬in Hebrew). We find a similar practice that whenever
someone would bring an animal korban, he/she would learn their hands upon it first
(Vayikra 3:2, for example). Furthermore, many parents today lean their hands on
their children when they bless them on Shabbat evening. What is so significant about
leaning your hands on someone (or something)?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

Fifth Aliya

1) Where does the Torah instruct us to pour
copious amounts of a Viking drink onto the
Mizbeach?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• It says in 28:6 that the Korban Tamid, which is brought every single day in the
morning and evening, is related to the “Tamid olah that was made on Mount
Sinai.” (An olah is a korban that is burned completely and not eaten by anyone.) It
was back in Shemot 24:5 when Bnei Yisrael brought korbanot while standing at
Sinai. What could be the connection between the Korban Tamid and Mount Sinai?
• The Torah instructs us to bring a Korban Chatat on Rosh Chodesh (28:15), and later,
instructs us to bring one for many other holidays as well. Why do we need to bring a
Chatat to atone for our sins on a holiday (but not on shabbat)?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

1) There was once a shepherd who was driving his goats across the
plains too fast and the goats were tiring. His assistant told him to stop.
What did the assistant say?

Sixth Aliya

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• The Torah calls Shavuot “Yom HaBikkurim,” “the holiday of the first-fruits” (28:26) in
our Aliyah. What is the reason for this unusual name? What does this name teach us
about the nature of the holiday of Shavuot?
• The first time all 5 chagim are mentioned is in Parshat Emor. There, the Torah tells us
about the holiness of each day and each day’s mitzvot. Our Parsha, meanwhile,
mainly deals with the korbanot Mussaf of each holiday. So you would have expected
the phrase “Yom Teruah yihyeh lachem” (BeMidbar 29:1) in Emor, but all that is
written in Emor is “Zichron Teruah (VaYikra 23:24).” Why is the mitzvah of the day
given in Pinchas but not in Emor?

From the PUNivitcher Rav

Seventh Aliya

1) A man was visiting a fine china store but he kept breaking everything.
The owner brought him 3 issaron of flour. The man said,“Do you take me
for a bull sir?!” Why did the owner bring the man 3 issaron of flour
(which is the amount of the mincha that accompanies a bull korban)?

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• A total of 70 bulls are brought as korbanot on Sukkot. The Gemara (Sukka 55b) says
that these correspond to the 70 nations of the world. As well, we find in the Navi
Zechariah (14:16) that in the future, all the nations will come to Yerushalayim to
celebrate Sukkot. What could be the connection between Sukkot and the nations of the
world?
• Shemini Atzeret happens right after Sukkot and is a separate holiday. Thus, we do not
eat or sleep in the sukka on Shemini Atzeret. The korbanot of Shemini Atzeret include
one bull (29:36). If the 70 bulls of the preceding holiday of Sukkot correspond to the
nations of the world, what might the single bull of Shemini Atzeret correspond to?

Meet the Rashei Moshava
As we ponder different leaders in this
week’s Parsha, we turn to reflect on the
greatness of some of our own leaders.
Behold, for the first time ever, an exclusive
interview with the mother of each of our
Rashei Moshava!
Shalhevet
Why the name?

-Full
name
is
Shalhevetya Zehava
Meidan Schwartz, main
name Shalhevetya
because she was born
on Chanuka, and all the
name options were really about the festival of
lights.


Funny story incident?

-When she was under 2 her brothers taught
her to say that the Yankees were the best
team in baseball, and that Jeter was the best
player, and that she was “articulate”, and she
would go around rehearsing those lines. A
better story, when she was 4, she had a doll
(a little bear with a yellow coat) called
“Canalopa” who was neither a boy nor a girl
doll, it was just Canalopa. No matter how
hard her brothers tried they couldn’t get her
to associate it with gender.

First word?

-Ar-tic-u-late (Not a joke people)


Story of getting into trouble?
-Didn’t really happen! Other than that time in
third grade when Shalhevet didn’t let a girl
who was bullied to sit next to her on the bus,
and the girl’s mom emailed me asking if
Shalhevet can let her sit with her. That (in my
opinion) was a pivotal moment in her life
when I impressed upon her that she can
never be mean to other people.


What did you think she would be when
she grew up?

-I honestly thought she would be a COO of a
company, as she is one of the bossiest
people I know, but so talented at it! So good

at working with groups of people and making
decisions! (If I had it my way she would go to
Wall Street and make millions of dollars, and
then donate some to the Jewish community.)


How would you describe her in one word?

-Oh My Goodness... [Consults with dad]... We
would have to say—intense.


Why did you decide to send her to Stone?

-NO VISITING DAYS! I HATE VISITING DAYS!


First job at camp?

“I don’t remember... Madricha? Actually I’m
pretty sure it was Beit Midrash, come on, it
was Shalhevet, Beit Midrash. I think.”


What makes you most proud of her?

Lots and lots of things, but especially how
she sticks to her values, even when people
around her make it hard for her.


How helpful were they during quarantine?
What were her hours?

-Hmm... Some days she was quite helpful,
and some quite not. Her hours were late, 2-3
AM, but she always woke up for Davening on
time, even if it meant she went back to sleep
after till “erratic” hours.


Do they wear Camp apparel outside of
camp?

-She does, but only when I’m not looking,
because it horrifies me! That stuff is ugly!
Really no offense guys. So either when I’m
not looking or as PJs.


Fact that we didn’t know about her?

“Did you know she was a pitcher in her
Middle School Softball league? You also
probably didn’t know her name hits doubledigit syllables!”


Aryeh
Why the name?

You started out with a
great question and one of
Aryeh’s pet peeves. Fun
fact: his name is actually
Eliyahu Aryeh (legally) but
we decided to call him
Aryeh, which annoys him
to no end. He is named
after a great grandfather,

Aryeh.


What’s a funny story from when he was a
baby/little kid?

-What isn’t? Aryeh has gone through a lot of
amusing phases. In elementary school, he
would bounce down the stairs and announce
“Never fear, cuz Aryeh’s here!” (and usually
crash into a wall at the end).

And when he was really young (say 2ish), he
passed out a couple of times running around
with his brother and falling off a bed. Luckily,
he seems to have outgrown that.


What was his first word?

-No recollection. But it probably involved a
snack. ;-)


What’s a story that involved him getting in
trouble?

-Not real trouble. Just antics. Always. He
tends to find your button and then repeatedly
and joyfully press it. He claims his motives are
noble in order to help you relax. But big
things... there was that time (not that long
ago!) that he was a counselor in a local day
camp and I got a call from the camp nurse
telling me that Aryeh managed to snip off part
of his fingertip while cutting lanyard. They
cordoned off the lanyard area in the art room
after that and didn’t allow Aryeh in.


What did you think your child would be
when he grew up?

-He either wanted to drive an ice cream truck
or a flower delivery truck (his brother would
be running the flower store). He still has
dreams of owning a pickup truck.


How would you describe your child in one
word?
-Indescribable.


Why did you decide to send him to Stone?
I didn’t. :-) His Gush friends recruited him. I
had never heard of Stone.


What was their first job in Stone?
-Madrich


What makes you most proud of your child?

Despite his lighthearted and fun exterior,
Aryeh is a deeply caring and sensitive young
man who is bright and tries to bring true joy to
those around him.


How helpful was he during quarantine?
What were his hours? (Like when they
went to sleep and woke up)

-Aryeh spent most of quarantine finishing up
his college work and prepping for Stone. It
didn’t leave him much time to help, but he did
sweep and Swiffer before Shabbos. He kept
pretty normal hours (for him, anyway). He also
enjoyed joking about coronavirus germs,
which wasn’t that funny as he actually had it
early on.


What’s a fact we probably don’t know
about him?

-He asked us to buy him a unicycle and he
tried to learn to ride it. All was going well until
it shot out from under him and made a huge
hole in one of our inside doors.


Does he wear camp stone apparel outside
of camp? For what occasion?

-Any occasion is an occasion to wear Stone
swag. We finally had to buy him new T-shirts,
put them on the top of his laundry pile and
bury the Stone-wear (especially the pukecolored one: Aryeh knows what I’m talking
about).


Elisha
Why the
name?

-Full name is
Elisha
Nechemia,
Elisha
because we
loved the
name :)


What’s a
funny story from when he was a baby/little
kid?

-When he was young I was with him at ToysR-Us, and he got lost. After a while of
searching for him he showed up, I said “Oh
My Gosh Elisha, where were you?” and he
responded- “don’t worry mommy, I knew
where I was!”


What was his first word?

-They must have been: “Oh, hello!”. It’s still
his go-to till this day.


What’s a story that involved him getting in
trouble?
-He never got into trouble, but he had a friend
in school who was also named Elisha, and

whenever a teacher called me starting going
on about some misdemeanor, we first had to
clarify which Elisha it was: something the
teachers weren’t always sure of. That
probably saved both of them on several
occasions.


What did you think he would be when they
grew up?
-Of course, we wanted him to be Rosh Mosh,
and when he’s finished with that we hope for
him to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.


How would you describe him in one word?
-Adventurous


Why did you decide to send him to stone?

-This year specifically to watch him cross the
border on foot, but in general, it’s just the best
camp out there!


What was his first job in Stone?


-A lifeguard. Camp seems to have a knack for
hiring Canadian lifeguards, as we have high
standards.


What makes you most proud of him?

-Most proud of his ability to know what the
right thing to do and to do it.


How helpful were they during quarantine?
What were his hours? (Like when they went
to sleep and woke up)
-Elisha is actually a cooking prodigy, he
makes falafel and pasta from scratch! So he
really helped us out with that. As for when he
was awake, Elisha lives in Australian time. For
Australia, he was awake from 7 AM to 11 PM.


What’s a fact we probably don’t know
about him?

-Despite his red hair, he has brown eyebrows!


Does he wear camp stone apparel outside
of camp? For what occasion?

-Elisha wears Stonewear for all “at homecasual” events, and all summer long, Not
quite sure if he has any other summer clothes.


Special circumstances call for special
questions: What do you really think of his
quarantine hair/beard?

-Honestly it’s trend-setting. It’s just a higher
form of human life, which you can see in this
diagram.

to in camp this week?
Yaakov Fleischman is still trying to
