Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha begins with an overview of the laws of Shemitah and Yovel. Shemitah is a seven-year cycle in which we may farm the land for six years; however, we must let the land rest in the seventh year. The Yovel cycle, which also requires letting the land rest, is the first year after seven Shemitah cycles. At this time, all Jewish slaves must be released, and all properties are reverted back to their original owners. We find out why shabbos is said in a plural way. We learn about the duality in our service to God.
