Spiraling Through Time: The Sabbatical Year 2021

Hosted By: ZIVUG

The next Shmitah (Sabbatical Year) year begins Rosh Hashanah. How might we personally and collectively prepare for a year of rest, reset, and radical rejuvenation? Starting with study of Shabbat, each week we’ll ground ourselves in text and conversation. We’ll delve into Biblical, rabbinic, and post-modern wisdom as we vision the next year.
