Dear
6th Grade Parents,
This week we built upon last week's discussion of טו בשבט (Tu B'Shevat)--the New Year for Trees based on the growing season in Israel. We learned about the Torah commandment of שמיטה (Shemitah) which literally means release. To this day Jews in Israel let the Land of Israel rest every seven years. We also began learning about the related Torah command to expunge debts during the שמיטה year. I look forward to delving more deeply into this discussion next week.
