    Thank you so much for this thoughtful article on shmita as a paradigm for funding in the Jewish communal world. At Hazon we are promoting the values of shmita across the Jewish community as we near the next shmita year through our Shmita Project; many resources are online at http://www.hazon.org/shmita, including our free downloadable Shmita Sourcebook, a 120-page sourcebook that draws on a range of texts from within Jewish tradition and time, tracing the development and evolution of Shmita from biblical, historical, rabbinic, and contemporary perspectives.

    This is such good advice and thought provoking information. As a non-Jew I appreciate more and more the wisdom of the ages, and applaud the Leichtag Foundation for making live today. Well done and thank you.

    Charlene,
    Thank you for this wonderful article showing how shmittah principles can be applied to funders and Jewish communal organizations writ large. You help illustrate how shmittah is far more than an ancient agricultural practice; it is a transformative paradigm for re-prioritizing and re-envisioning ourselves and our institutions. For those interested in additional applications of shmittah to contemporary issues, I encourage you to explore The Sova Project (http://sovaproject.org/), a thought-provoking series of blog posts about shmittah and sufficiency.
