The Boring #Twenties
My grandfather told me about the Roaring '20s: driving 10 MPH was "speeding."
Bad as it is now, these are boom years between 2022 & 2029 #shmita busts.
I remember being 20-something, clueless to how wrong I am but eager to learn: memories #taper.

![A sabbatical (from the Hebrew: שַׁבָּת Šabat (i.e., Sabbath); in Latin sabbaticus; Greek: σαββατικός sabbatikos) is a rest or break from work: "an extended period of time intentionally spent on something that's not your routine job".[1]
The concept of the sabbatical is based on the Biblical practice of shmita (sabbatical year), which is related to agriculture. According to Leviticus 25,[2] Jews in the Land of Israel must take a year-long break from working the fields every seven years.[3]
Starting with Harvard University in 1880, many universities and other institutional employers of scientists, physicians, and academics offer the opportunity to qualify for paid sabbatical as an employee benefit, called sabbatical leave.[4][5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egtepbo3asrq4jdm5doobhp6/bafkreiaxdt6ommznm3evsnizentlwu35c2wxmpxuhucwxtcjusq5vua2nq)

The connection between the hebrew word gashmiut (גמישות) and rain has completely made me rethink what it is to be resilient.
One translation of gashmiut is resilient. But its root letters are gimel-shin-mem — geshem — rain.
Welcome to year 5 of the shmita cycle: gashmiut (גמישות)

trying to square the circle of commandments that don’t make sense if you’ve ever actually done an agriculture (wtf shmita and bans on castration…) means retroactively saying well, i guess you just can’t, even if now we know they definitely did.

I just learned that the concept of "sabbatical" comes from the Bible, in which every seventh year the agricultural land is given a "rest" from production- a time of nurturing and renewal but not sowing or harvest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita #academia

This might be minor but the real breaking point for me for some reason was when at some demonstration celebrating the eviction of a Bedouin town Ben Gvir planted a tree. But this was during Shmita.

shmita year was in 5782 (added an xtra month to keep us semi aligned w/ solar calendar, happens every 7 years) so that means that holidays cycle later on gregorian calendars for a while bc we had an extra Adar a few years ago

This reminds me that I have an unpublished poem called “Shmita Year” (7 stanzas of 7 lines, + a single line—a Yovel/Jubilee of lines in total) that I haven’t sent out lately. I hope it finds a home someday—and I hope Israel does some thinking about Shmita before the next one in 2028 (and sooner!).
DEBT CANCELLATION EVERY SEVEN YEARS
LANDBACK EVERY FIFTY

year 1 i did it for me.
last year was a shmita year, with a planned start date and an interminable extension past the 7 day mark that wasnt actually that fun to do in real life
this year i got back to my roots and just dropped it on em based on when my brain needed to Be Like This for a week
