Halakhah for Deuteronomy 28:39

כְּרָמִ֥ים תִּטַּ֖ע וְעָבָ֑דְתָּ וְיַ֤יִן לֹֽא־תִשְׁתֶּה֙ וְלֹ֣א תֶאֱגֹ֔ר כִּ֥י תֹאכְלֶ֖נּוּ הַתֹּלָֽעַת׃

Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worm shall eat them.

The Sabbath Epistle

I called this letter The Sabbath Epistle (’iggeret haShabbat), for it brings together (’ogeret) all responses. Also, it is named for the letter that I saw in my dream. It is clear from this epistle when the day begins, also the beginning of the month, and also the beginning of the year. The glorious God, who is first without beginning and last without end, will draw near the time of the end of days, to return us as in days of long ago and earlier years. Amen.
