The Israel Ride is six weeks away, but it is not too late to join us. We have a great new route this year, including two days of riding up north. Details of our daily route options are now available – we will be riding through the Galil, stopping at the Hula Valley Bird Sanctuary, climbing the lower slopes of the Golan (with the Chalutzim do a bit more climbing!), and riding around the Kinneret. As per tradition, we will still spend Shabbat in Mitzpe Ramon, visit the Arava Institute, and end with a finale on the shores of the Red Sea in Eilat. If you are still considering joining us, we invite you to use the code “newyear” which will discount registration by $200. You can also share this code with friends who may wish to ride this year as well. If you cannot join us, we invite you to sponsor one of our riders. You can register online at www.israelride.org. Final discount expires Oct. 10th.

Shmita Study Group Convenes in New York
On September 20, 2012, twelve people gathered at Makom Hadash for the first of a seven-part shmita study group, which was coordinated by Kevah with Rabbi Ari Hart as our educator. The first session focused on understanding biblical texts with a focus on how shmita has evolved over time and what we can learn from comparing and contrasting analysis of different Biblical references. Download the study sheet. With the next shmita year starting Rosh Hashanah 2014, some might ask, why run a shmita study session now? But with less than two years until the next shmita year begins, now is the exact right time to think and plan for that year. As we can’t properly prepare for Shabbat 5 minutes before it begins, we cannot properly plan for the shmita year just as it arrives. So, what is shmita all about? (more…)
Embracing the Shmita Cycle: A New Year Vision
by Yigal Deutscher The article below is reposted from Tikkun Daily, where it was originally published on September 16, 2012. The fabric of the entire Jewish cosmology, culture, and story is interwoven with the patterns of cycles. This cycle begins with each of us, in our own bodies, with the rhythm of breath, the rhythm of inhale, exhale, and the moments of stillness and calmness in between each breath. It is this cycle which creates our collective, evolving body. Not just the human body, but the body of Earth, of life itself. We mark time with these movements of transformation, with this cyclical breath of the moon. We count our months and years as her body waxes and wanes, exhales and inhales. It is this cycle which is the same as our own rhythmic breath, our own beating heartbeat and flowing pulse. On this particular Rosh Hashana, while invoking the year 5773, as you complete one yearly lunar cycle and begin a new one, you are invited to recall another cycle, mostly forgotten, but one as old as the Jewish story itself, still unfolding in the undercurrents of our collective subconscious. We are now welcoming in year 5 of a […]
Congress Back at Work… But Not on the Farm Bill
Just to recap: Congress left DC in July with a Farm Bill mess: 5-year Farm Bill legislation was moved aside in the House for a Disaster Relief Bill, which was turned into discussion about a one-year short term bill while the Senate was holding on to the version of the Farm Bill they passed in June. Ultimately, the session closed and the two houses couldn’t agree on what type of bill to pass, let alone what the details of the bill would be. (more…)
