RYNJ was privileged to host a farmer from the Negev who is keeping his second shemitah. Farmer Avichai Koch detailed for RYNJ students what he grows on his farm, how the vegetables are grown in greenhouses, the challenges of keeping shemitah and most importantly the bracha that he has seen in his fields in the sixth year and the hashgacha pratis in all aspects of his life, including the parnasa Hashem provides for him without working his fields for a whole year. Koch enraptured the audience with his life story and he demonstrated what it means to be a regular person who puts his entire trust in Hashem. Thank you to Eretz Chemda for bringing Koch to RYNJ!
