[Avodah] Shehecheyanu for shmitta

[Marty Bluke]

RSZA is quoted in Hlaichos Shlomo that when Rosh Hashana is starting
the shmitta year a person should have kavana when he says shehecheyanu
in kiddush for shmitta as well. Shmitta is a mitzva that comes
periodically and therefore falls under the rubric of shehecheyanu. We
should have in mind the miztvos that we will do during shmitta when we
make the beracha. It would seem that this only applies only to people
living in Israel where shmitta is applicable.
