To: The majesty king Abdulla 

 

Subject: Common project between Israel and Jordan for the year of the shmita.( the seventh year in a seven-year cycle).               

 

After making a bow before the majesty king  Abdulla .  We are applying personally in the name of the famous and greatest rabbis, who represent the ultra-orthodox community in Israel, the gaon rabbi Hahron labe shtinman and the gaon rabbi Haim Knievskey and the gaon rabbi Nisim Karlitz.

As known to his majesty the coming year is the year of the "shmita" in Israel, and we are ordered by the holly Torah not to seed vegetables in Israel,  so as a result we established with the help of the greatest  rabbis "VADAT HASHMITA  -ATERET SHLOMO”

Which is appointed to supply the vegetables to the orthodox community in Israel?

Therefore we would like to create a common project between Israel and Jordan, which basically will be performed in the territory of the ashemi kingdom, in order to grow a huge amount of vegetable, which can feed the orthodox community in Israel.

There is no doubt that such marketing and exporting of fresh agriculture in the land of  Jordan will promote the interest of both sides, and will save unnecessary expenditure of importing vegetables from European countries, as we consider it as a waste of resources on foreign countries when instead we can develop the local growers.  

 The region by the Torah law that we can use is in the region of the passage border of Akaba. And for that we need to lease thousands of acres of land, we can work on the land in a new and professional methods which are familiar by agricultural exports here in Israel.

 

 

 

 

 

The land must be approved sanitarily and phitosanitary, the place must be equipped

with a electricity and necessary condition to establish such activity  

For this project we are going to need a thousand of working hands.

For example we know about a huge farm of thousands of acres of his majesty ( Al Gramico, )we can commit to develop the place and to invest of at least one thousand working place.

 

It would be our greatest honor to meet with the royal family representative to promote the project business.

 

 

There is no doubt that this project will promote the peace between the two countries and will contribute to the all region.

 

Best regards  

In the name of the Rabbis of the shmita – Ateret Shlomo

The Rabbi Shalom Dov  Sorotzkin

The Rabbi Betzalel Satz

The Rabbi Micha Rotshild
