[Avodah] Shehecheyanu for shmitta

[Marty Bluke]

R' Daniel Israel asked:
<Your last comment, is this b'ferush in RSZA, or your understanding?
If the latter, can you clarify the s'vara, and has anyone heard any
other opinions?  Not saying you are wrong, just curious.

It is not b'feirush (see Halichos Shlomo Moadim Rosh Hashana - Purim
chapter 1 sif 16 devar halacha 22 footnote 65). He writes that the
beracha is because we are zoche to be mekayem many mitzvos related to
shemitta, we have the shabbas haaretz, kedushas peiros, etc. People in
chutz laaretz are not mekayem these mitzvos, don't eat peiros with
kedushas sheviis, etc.  and therefore I thought that the beracha would
not apply to them
