Chizuk and Idud

CHIZUK-and-IDUD-for-Olim-not-yet-Olim-respectively

“Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When you come to the Land that I am giving you, the Land should rest a Sabbath to God” (Vayikra 25:2)
“You may sow your fields for six years, and for six years you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce” (25:3)
The Lubavitcher Rebbe points out that the order of the text seems to be reversed .The six work years should precede the Shabbat or Sabbatical year. The Torah should have mentioned the 6 years of planting, and then tell us about resting.
The Rebbe teaches that when one comes to the Land and is about to embark upon work which involves the material and the mundane (planting and working the Land), the first goal must be to prepare a “Sabbath to God”. If our initial goal is to bring holiness and God into the world, then all of the work we do during the first six years becomes meaningful. It transforms those six years into years of holy preparation. The mundane and earthly are transformed into the spiritual and heavenly.
If you are engaged on any level in the Aliya process - thinking about it, speaking to Nefesh B’nefesh, or shopping for appliances, you might think that you are involved in the mundane, technical aspects of preparing for life in Israel. The Rebbe’s point is that this technical process is a holy one, given that your initial goal is holy - to come to Eretz Yisrael. Planting yourself and your family in Israel, is a special Mitzva.
