A Sabbath of the Land for You: Shemittah, Ethics, and Jewish Philosophy (1/5) with Sarah Zager and Ranana Dine

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Shemittah" While Shemitah may appear to be a narrow topic linked specifically to agricultural laws in the land of Israel, this class will use Shemitah as a window into contemporary ethical questions about economics, the environment, and freedom. We’ll explore how Jewish philosophical texts, from medieval to modern, understand shemitah’s broader significance for those who might not encounter it in daily practice. This audio was originally captured from Zoom on 11/24/2021 as part of Drisha's Fall Zman.
