"BH 19th of Tammuz, 1937, here in the Holy City of Jerusalem. When I leave the Holy Land for the springs of medicine in the hope of returning safely to the Holy Land, I raise my hands in prayer and blessing for all those who helped and assisted in keeping the sheviet, To all donors and all those who strive, headed by the directors of the committee who are on guard, to expand this act of charity. G-d will pay their wages and send blessing and success in all their deeds and they will see the salvation of Israel and complete redemption soon in our day, Amen." An exciting letter signed by the genius Maharitz Dushinsky, in which he bless all those who maintain the mitzvah of shemitah. The genius adds and asks that every Jerusalem community that participated in "this sublime enterprise" will continue the holy work "to be doing ... to increase the action and huge it", and concludes and doubles the blessings to the keepers of the sheviet mitzvah: "And thanks to the sheviet mitzah, we will all be privileged to see the holy land built, וזרע עבדיו ינחלוה ואוהבי שמו ישכנו בה As the Prayer of the signed Yosef Zvi Dushinsky "
