As we approach the upcoming shemittah year (observed starting Rosh Hashanah 2014/5775), we ask: How might the ancient laws of shemittah (sabbatical year) guide us toward sustainability? In this practical workshop, participants will learn about the Jewish environmental movement's project to combat climate change while supporting sustainable communities. This session is presented through Hazon, 7Seeds and the Green Hevra: A New Coalition of Jewish Eco-Projects.
