vaikra Whoever holds on to the Heavenly Throne of Hashem, which corresponds

to the Torah, known as the “tree of life,” merits protection and salvation,
as it says, “It is a tree of life to those who grasp it, and its supporters are
praiseworthy.” Hashem wanted to impart this important lesson. Therefore,
He told Moshe to grasp the Heavenly Throne and respond to the
arguments of the angels by himself.
The mitzvah of shemittah requires enormous dedication. Precisely through
performing this mitzvah, a person will become accustomed to
meticulously fulfilling all mitzvot given on Har Sinai. This is the
connection between shemittah and Har Sinai.
Furthermore, the word (shemittah) is a derivative of the word
(abstain). This indicates that a person must abstain from indulging
in his passions in this world and hold on to the Torah, which is “a tree of
life.” Consequently, the Torah will protect and save him.

“Hashem spoke to Moshe on Mount Sinai,
19
saying: Speak to the Children of Israel and say
to them: When you come into the land that I
give you, the land shall observe a Sabbath rest
for Hashem”

(Vayikra 25:1-2)
