Shmita: Then and Now - Rabbi Aharon Ariel Lavi

Rabbi Aharon Ariel Lavi at Uri L'Tzedek on Shmita: Then and Now Seven, the new book by Aharon Ariel Lavi, is one of the first attempts of its kind to interpret the ancient idea of Shmita (the Biblical Sabbatical year) in relation to contemporary economic and social issues: sustainability, community, the job market, the debt crisis, economic cycles, and more. The book brings traditional sources and commentary, alongside cutting-edge scientific knowledge and insights.In this session, we explore together with Lavi some of the key concepts Shmita holds, and their relevance to our contemporary reality. This is a rare opportunity to contemplate on how millennia old Jewish wisdom can help us cope with the challenges of our time.Watch the video recording of this class on Uri L’Tzedek’s YouTube channel:youtube.com/channel/UC_htFNr9duz-KJiXdtW8pIw - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -STAY CONNECTED:Website: utzedek.org Newsletter: utzedek.org/subscribeFacebook: facebook.com/uriltzedekYouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC_htFNr9duz-KJiXdtW8pIw Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/uri-ltzedek/id1603706369 Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/4sqRoloAYDiI84oFlBd7q4?si=f414b018ae334706Donate: utzedek.org/donate
