Shemittah - the Sabbatical year - is a treasure of Jewish law that was all but forgotten during the 2000 year exile of the Jews from their land. With the rebirth of Jewish agriculture in the Land of Israel 125 years ago, the law suddenly became relevant again. This course examines the challenges entailed in the revival of this ancient law within a modern context, and its impact on daily life. Students will "meet" Israelis who discuss how they observe shemittah and its meaning to them.
