Havurah Shalom

This coming year is a shmita year, which occurs every seven years beginning at Rosh Hashanah. It is a time of rest and release for the earth and people in debt. Join us for a short program examining the shmita year, from its Biblical origins and ancient practice to modern examples of literal observance.

Catch us again during the service break on Yom Kippur for a guided discussion on exploring opportunities for your own shmita observance.

Across the year 5782, the Tikkun Olam cluster will be holding a series of events centered on contemporary concepts of shmita and how to connect to those concepts. A variety of monthly events are planned, thematically connected to the Jewish calendar, and there will be options at each for those who want to continue the work. Topics include food, consumerism, climate and the financial world, and we know you will help us find others. Look for more details in Hineinu, Hakol and the Havurah calendar. 
 

This event will take place on Havurah’s High Holidays website. Register for free when it opens on Aug. 4!
