In this weeks Torah reading we hear about the blessings and open wonders during the Shmitah and Yovel years. (The 7th and 50th year of the agricultural cycle in Eretz Yisrael.) Hear how these years were set up to lead us to greater acceptance, greater pleasure, and greater trust - which opened our eyes to witness His awesome guiding hand.
Rabbi Carmell examines one special mitzvah that is based more on proof than on belief. Hear how the 7th Sabbatical year and those who worked the land saw first hand how God not only lived up to His word but that only He could have made such a promise. Another wonder is the Yovel's 50th year in which all slaves were sent home completely free.
Whenever we count days or years are we only interested in the final tally? The system we use indicates the type of culmination we're measuring. Rabbi Ari Kahn looks at the metaphysical significance of the Jubilee 50th year and how it influences the counting of the Omer and Yom Kippur. Hear some surprising spiritual secrets that indicate ways the universe operates.
The seventh year in which the land must lay fallow, a sabbatical year if you will, has many layers of depth to be understood.
