Shemitah - Holy Sabbatical Year

This year in Israel is a "Shemitah year" a Sabbatical Year. During the Shemitah year, the residents of the land of Israel must completely desist from cultivating their fields. They also relinquish personal ownership of their fields.

For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its produce. But in the seventh year, the land shall have a complete rest, a Sabbath to the Lord; you shall not sow your field, you shall not prune your vineyard, nor shall you reap the aftergrowth of your harvest . . . And [the produce of] the Sabbath of the land shall be yours to eat for you, for your male and female servants, and for your hired worker and resident who live with you... -- Leviticus 25:3-6.
