Shabbat Ha'Aretz, often translated as 'The Sabbath of the Land', discusses the mystical and practical aspects of the biblical commandment of Shmita, or the sabbatical year. Rabbi Kook explores the spiritual significance of this commandment, seeing it as a time for the land to rest and rejuvenate, paralleling the weekly Sabbath. The book delves into the implications of Shmita for Jewish agricultural, economic, and social life, proposing a holistic vision that combines spiritual renewal with practical observance.
