It says in in Perek 25:21 (וְצִוִּיתִי אֶת-בִּרְכָתִי לָכֶם, בַּשָּׁנָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית;
וְעָשָׂת, אֶת-הַתְּבוּאָה, לִשְׁלֹשׁ, הַשָּׁנִים), that (I shall direct my blessing to you in the sixth year and
it will produce enough for three years). This is a contradiction to the
Havtachah that Hakadosh Baruch Hu gave us, that if we do the Mitzvos then Ochel
Kima Umisbaraich B’maiav -that a person will eat less and be satisfied. If so,
then why do we need more Peiros, the same amount of food should accomplish that
we shouldn’t go hungry? This seems to be 2 types of Brachos that contradict
each other?
To answer this we will ask another question. In Posuk
Chaf it says, (וְכִי תֹאמְרוּ, מַה-נֹּאכַל בַּשָּׁנָה
הַשְּׁבִיעִת: הֵן לֹא נִזְרָע, וְלֹא נֶאֱסֹף אֶת-תְּבוּאָתֵנוּ), that (If you shall ask what will we eat
in the seventh year, since we have not planted nor gathered our produce). Then
in Posuk Chaf Alef it says that there will be 3 years of food grown in year 6.
Is this true that the only way to get 3 years of produce grown in year 6 is by
asking this question, and everyone else doesn’t get the Bracha of 3 years
produce grown in the 6th year? Rav Pam says absolutely. Really there is the
Bracha of (אוכל קמעא והוא מתברך במעיו) Ochel Kima V’hu Misbaraich B’maiav which
is Rashi to 26:5, however, if you ask V’chi Somru, and you don’t have Bitachon
then you will have to work much harder and you will have 3 years
worth of produce grown in the 6th year.
In our day to day life some of us are faced with an
opportunity to work overtime. Should we work the overtime or not? It is hard
for us to know when a person should just have Bitachon and when a person should
be doing more Hishtadlus. The Michtav M’Eliyahu and Beis Haleivi in Parshas
Mikeitz say you should do the amount of Hishtadlus that gives you a comfort
level that Hashem could send it. The ideal is (אוכל
קמעא והוא מתברך במעיו) that a
person should be able to be happy with less.
