Title: Arabs Protest Tree Planting In Negev
Post by: Binyamin Yisrael on January 12, 2022, 04:22:18 PM
Isn't it prohibited to plant during Shemittah or is this in the parts of the Negev where agricultural laws don't apply? Or is it pikuach nefesh to stop the Arabs from taking over the Land of Israel?

 As I'm aware Rav Dov Lior and Rav Bar Hayim allowed it due to the current situation and it being a State of Milhemit Mitzvah. Land can be lost for generations otherwise.
