ואספת דגנך

                                                                                   

ואספת דגנך

 In E.Yisroel, you must go out to work instead of learning Torah.

According to the Chasam Sofer*, when the majority of  Bnei Yisroel live in Eretz Yisroel the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisroel is applicable.

By working the fields and growing the holy fruits, you are Mekayam the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisroel.

R. Yishmael says (Brachos35b), there is a Mitzvah of ואספת דגנך  The Torah commands us הנהג בהן מנהג דרך ארץ

The same way one can not say he has no time to put on Tefillin because he is busy learning Torah, so too one

can not say I am busy learning Torah and have no time to gather my grain. The Ch.Sofer adds that perhaps other 

trades that benefits and are necessary for mankind are also part of the Mitzvah of הנהג בהן מנהג דרך ארץ  and 

Mitzvahs Yishuv E.Y.
