U / Shemittah & Yobel / Grunfeld

The book 'Shemittah & Yobel' by Isidor Grunfeld explores the biblical concepts of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, known in Hebrew as Shemittah and Yovel. These periods are significant in Jewish law, where every seventh year, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity is forbidden according to the Torah. The Jubilee year, which occurs every 50th year, includes additional laws regarding the liberation of slaves and the return of land. Grunfeld's work delves into the historical, legal, and ethical aspects of these commandments, providing a detailed analysis of their religious and social implications.
