This Hebrew year 5782 is the Shmita year, a sabbatical year of rest and release. Mimicking the Shabbat cycle, but on a grander scale, it considers our whole earth system as needing of rest. '

In this 5-week online class, join Leora Mallach as we ground ourselves in text and conversation to explore both the ecological and economic dimensions of such a system. We’ll delve into Biblical, rabbinic, and post-modern wisdom and draw on our own experiences. In 2022, how might we personally relate to a mandated year of rest and reset?

Meet the Teacher: Leora Mallach recently stepped down as director of Beantown Jewish Gardens, where she taught about agriculture and food systems rooted in Jewish text, tradition, and culture and also founded and ran an organic vegetable garden at Temple Israel for multiple growing seasons. When not creating new paradigms in the Jewish community, she can be found in municipal meetings as a City Councilor in Framingham or otherwise building sustainable community.
