"And it was in the days of the wheat harvest"

At this very moment, at 12 noon local time, with the sun shining in its full strength, the annual wheat harvest has begun for the mehudar wheat in the state of Arizona, a place where rain is rare, for the tens of thousands of members of our holy kehilla, for Pesach 5785, may it come to us for good.

The Satmar Rebbe shlit"a sent yesterday, on Lag BaOmer, HaGaon Rabbi Hersh Leib Bernstein shlit"a, dayan of Beis Medrash Beis Menachem Tzvi of our holy kehilla in Williamsburg, and HaGaon Rabbi Yoel Yitzchak Stern shlit"a, dayan of the Dinov Beis Medrash in Kiryas Joel, who have been standing guard since the end of winter, from the time of planting, to supervise in the field throughout the entire harvesting process until after it is packed and shipped to New York.

Accompanying them were HaGaon Rabbi Yitzchak Yaakov Chayim shlit"a, and the appointed supervisors R' Yoel Shlomo Zaldan on behalf of the Kiryas Joel bakery, and R' Baruch Yehuda Spitzer on behalf of our kehilla's bakery in Williamsburg.

The local heat is hitting 104 degrees today, and the wheat in the field is already beautifully and fully ripened, b'siyata dishmaya without any concern of sprouting or splitting.

After questioning the special shomrim who were appointed about the climate in recent weeks in the field, and after examining thousands of kernels from the field to make sure that the kernels are very mehudar, the huge combine machine was inspected to ensure that it is clean and dry, and all the pipes coming out of the combine's engine, which could drip onto the field during cutting, were sealed.
Immediately afterward, at the proper time, the cutting began in the field, and b'ezras Hashem, in the coming days hundreds of acres of mehudar wheat will be cut, for the sake of the mitzvah.
