The Effect of Mistakenly Eating Foods in which Shmitah Applies,

and its Remedy

In an answer to a specific family that was suffering from a medical issue, the Rebbe responded:

בטח שגגו באכילת דעניני שמיטה.

When they received the answer, they asked how to start checking into this, as they are generally careful to only buy products with Mehudar Hechsherim. The Rebbe responded:

עבודת ה ' בשמחה (שפורצת גם גדר דשגיאות מי יבין).

When they received the answer, they asked how to start checking into this, as they are generally careful to only buy products with Mehudar Hechsherim. The Rebbe responded:

Serving Hashem with joy (which breaks also the boundary of unintentional transgressions).
