Episode description

Nigel Savage, the founder and former CEO of Hazon: the Jewish Lab for Sustainability, joins Judaism Unbound on the eve of Rosh Hashanah (and the Shmita year that Rosh Hashanah commences), for an inside look at Shmita in the 21st century. They explore how the recent wave of Shmita observances (beginning in 2000 and partially spearheaded by Hazon) began, and how Shmita has evolved and grown over the past few decades. They also look forward to where Shmita could still go, now and in the future.
