JulJuly 10 , 2022Shmita — Debt and the Shmita Year
Sunday, Jul 10th 10:30a to 12:00p
The current year 5782 is a year of remission (שְׁמִטָּֽה, shmita in Hebrew). Scripture - Exodus 21,23; Leviticus 25; Deuteronomy 15,31 - tells us that every seventh year we should let the land lie fallow; extinguish debts; free bondservants. and study religious texts. Wow! Have you been doing that? Are they even doing that in Israel? On July 10 at 10:30am on ZOOM, former WSTHZ member Jesse Abraham is offering a presentation that explores the historical context of the practice of seven-year debt release (shmita): when it was adopted, how it was used and how it became un-adopted. It proposes a criterium for what a ‘shmita consciousness’ around household debt might mean today. Two specific modifications to existing US government policies are presented that would move society closer to achieving those objectives. More foundational changes to the US economic system are also discussed. Dr. Jesse Abraham, son of Dr. Bernard and Annabel Abraham, was a Bar Mitzvah at WSTHZ a long time ago. Researching debt and shmita is one of the things he’s been doing since his retirement from Wells Fargo as a business economist. He lives in Washington DC (hence the ZOOM). -
