Asher Edes and Alexander Grace Vickery, co-founders of Shmita Hives, join Dan and Lex for a conversation about their initiative to bring groups of people (hives) together, to build their collective relationship to Shmita -- the year of release. Shmita is a year-long observance, marked every seven years and initially derived from the Torah, during which land is given the chance to rest, and debts are remitted.

If you are interested in starting up your own Shmita Hive, it's not too late! Just fill out this form, or email Asher and Alexander at ShmitaHives@gmail.com.
