The New Year that starts on Rosh HaShana will be a sabbatical (shmita) year throughout the Land of Israel. Every seven years, the People of Israel are commanded to cease their agricultural activities and let the land lie fallow. Over the years KKL-JNF has adapted its activities to suit this custom. Accordingly, there will be no planting during the coming year, not even on Tu BiShvat. Accompanied by forester Hagay Yavlovich, we went out to see how the forests would be affected by the shmita year.
