How, you might ask?
The Sh'mittah (Sabbatical) YearThe Torah commands that every seventh year the land must rest and all debts be forgiven. This sabbatical (from the word 'seven') year connects ecological values, religious values and ideals of social justice. It helps Jews understand the utopian vision of the Torah. In Hebrew the Sabbatical year is known as sh'mittah.
