[Avodah] Shehecheyanu for shmitta

[Michael Poppers]

In Avodah Digest V23#199, R'Micha responded:
> To narrow the search, wouldn't the mitzvah have to be both an asei, and
the qiyum bequm va'asei in order to warrant a berakah? Regardless of where
we go with shemittas kesafim at the end of the year, what ma'aseh is
necessary for it? <
Would that first Q's logic apply to, say, wearing a new suit for the first
time?  And couldn't a response to the 2nd Q be that what one is bidden to
do re certain monetary situations that one happens to be a part of is
similar to, say, what one is bidden to do when in a 4-cornered-garment
situation?

BTW, mei'inyan l'inyan: do you know why "shehecheyanu" isn't made by a
b'ris (which surely is a "qiyum bequm va'asei")?  The "Sharashei Minhag
Ashk'naz" Vol1 piece on this topic is worthwhile (and speaking of
"Sharashei Minhag Ashk'naz," see my next post)....

G'mar tov and all the best from
