Shemitah

Year of Jubilee Please excuse my ignorance, my question is
If, the jubilee Year is the 50th year after 7 cycles of Shemitah,will the Jubilee Year and the first year of next Shemitah cycle be counted as the same year? Also, will the Laws in Leviticus 25 apply to both years,both being reconized as Sabbatic years? Reply

where or how can I purchase this book Reply

All signs and statistics are pointing that direction it's time for being kind and to be spiritual . Reply

Where is the discussion? I see only statements and unanswered questions. Why? Doesn't anyone have answers.? Reply

Ultimately the bankers are in control, all you need to do is convince them. Reply

We are in Shemitah now!!!! Reply

According to Johnathan Cahn there was a stock market crash in Sept 2001,and Sept 2008. I have not had a chance to purchase the new book re: the Mystery of the Shemitah. Have you heard that there could be judgement on America for our moral decline, and that we could see some negative economic ramifications ie:
Economic Collapse. Could this possibly be responsible for the increased volatility in the last month. Reply

When is the next Jubilee Year? Reply

New Moon and the Shemitah I just had a question and I hope someone will answer it for me ! Does the New Moon have anything to do with the Shemitah ? I was told that the Shemitah cannot start until the New Moon ( Silver Sliver) is spotted. Is this true ? Reply

Enlightening! Very interesting! Good stuff! Reply

Keeping Shmita in Chutz La'aretz (Outside of Israel) Hi, Tami. You wanted to know whether or not it was possible to keep Shmita outside of Israel.
There is a new organization out there that lets Jews everywhere purchase land in Israel for the Shmita year, thereby allowing them to halachically fulfill the mitzvah of Shmita.
They have tons of rabbinic endorsements. I will be buying a small plot of land so that I'll be able to keep Shmita this coming year. You can search on the internet for more information. Reply

Is it true that Shemitah only applies to Israel and that area? Reply

Shemitah This is still God's law. It is even built into some of the justice system. When a judgement is placed on someone after small claims, the judgement will fall off after 7 years. Also, couldn't the stock market crash and the economic collapse and mortgage collapse be considered a Shemitah? Debts and credit fell away. Reply

A HARBINGER Read Isaiah 9:10
Bancruptcy - Bailouts - debts forgiven Reply

Market crash Stock market crashed in this Shemitah year and had been vulnerable in previous Shemitah years. How should we interpret this phenomenon? Reply

shemitah We are new to the ways of our fathers. I had heard of the shemitah but had thought that it began 5769.

In our ignorance we had begun a garden, what do we do?

Does this mean that we are not to even harvest or pick any wild fruit, fruit trees and corn when in season?

I had picked some wild blackberries recently and the consequencies have become evident. Since reading this I understand that it is the Shemitah. Oy vey!

So, no gardening or harvesting of any kind? wild or domestic? Reply

I really enjoyed it Reply
