Hazon, the Jewish Lab for Sustainability non-profit, officially opened submissions for The Shmita Prizes – an international arts competition with five different prizes. The goal is to draw attention to and raise awareness of the forthcoming shmita year (beginning Rosh Hashanah 2021).

Tuv Ha'aretz and Red Wagon Organic Farm are making a commitment to farmworkers during this Shmita year. Find out how you can sign up for our CSA and help.

The word Shmita literally translates to the ‘year of release.’ This was a time that the farm land was laid to rest, crops were shared, and a vision of generosity and community was abundant.

In honoring the vision of Shmita, or release/rest, Bonai Shalom will be holding an in-house Shabbaton.

The "Shabbat Ha'aretz" national book tour will be stopping in Westminster and Boulder next week. Read on for more details on the events and the author.

The next shmita cycle starts this Rosh Hashanah. Hence, September 23 begins the biblical sabbatical year. Hazon has scheduled two events to celebrate, discuss and understand.
