Shabbat beginning <strong>May</strong> 24 th , 2024<br />
In Parshat B’har, God describes the law of the Sabbatical year.<br />
God said to Moses, “Six years you may sow your field and six years<br />
you may prune your vineyard…But in the seventh year the land shall<br />
have a Sabbath year of complete rest…You shall not reap the after<br />
growth of your harvest.” As world events became more challenging,<br />
it became apparent to everybody that many people were no longer<br />
“reaping the after growth of their harvest.” However, it is comforting<br />
to know that much like the ritual Sabbatical year; these challenges<br />
are maybe somewhat of a refocusing, reenergizing, ritual as well.<br />
Sometimes cyclical world events help us refocus on family and<br />
friends. Financial challenges remind us to keep our consuming and<br />
spending in check and can warn us that the country and the world<br />
are quickly getting out of hand. In a way, these challenges give us a<br />
chance to get back on our feet before we plummet any further.<br />
Strange that a sabbatical may pose as a challenge.<br />
