neighborhoods, Leviticus is
saying: "Grass-roots com-
munities must have economic
independence, not live at the
mercy of great owners; and
even the earth must ex-
perience some healing, if you
wish communities to heal."
To those who point to con-
centrations of economic power
as the root of social danger,
Leviticus is saying: You can-
not reshape the relationships
of power between human be-
ings by simply redistributing
money. You must also en-
courage community at the
grass roots, and you must
periodically treat the earth as
also deserving of respect, rest,
the power of its own
self-determination.
Most interesting of all,
perhaps, Leviticus is not
teaching in absolutes - not
insisting that our life-paths
must be altered once and for
all, by revolutionary fiat. In-
stead it is teaching a sense of
rhythm.
It is all right, says
Leviticus, for some to accrue
great wealth and power and
others to become dependent
on them - as long as every
seventh and every 50th year
we redress the balance. It is
all right to use the earth to
serve our economic ends - as
long as we respect its own
rhythm and let it heal. It is
all right to let our sense of
community lapse - as long as
we also take steps to renew it.
And all these healings de-
pend upon a sense of rest. Not
only rest from physical work,
but even a deeper "rest" of in-
stitutions. When the Jubilee
comes, the patterns and struc-
tures of society dissolve for a
moment. When they are
restored, the patterns may be
quite new.
It is not only ethics, but
practical prudence that the
Jubilee affirms: Those who
operate according to habit
and pattern for too long,
become inefficient and inef-
fective. Not only the land but
society must occasionally lie
fallow if it is to prosper.
Today we might take
Leviticus 25 not as a list of
precise prescriptions that
would work for us today, but
perhaps as a pointer, a
direction-setter. Perhaps
Leviticus would lean toward
periodically lending venture
capital to grass-roots co-ops,
family-operated businesses,
worker-owned firms, rather
than feeding the permanent
dole.
Perhaps Leviticus would
lean toward periodic sab-
batical years on certain kings
of technological research and
development, time to reflect
and reevaluate how our
technology is affecting the
earth.
Perhaps Leviticus would
lean toward encouraging local
folk festivals in
neighborhoods, as a way of
celebrating our great na-
tional holidays, to dissolve in
songs and foods and crafts our
tensions with our neighbors,
rather than encouraging
swift getaways onto traffic-
jammed highways to escape
these tensions and,indeed,
our neighbors.
The ultimate goal of the
sabbatical and Jubilee
rhythm, says Leviticus, is to
affirm through action that
the land does not belong to
private owners, or the state,
or even to the entire people. It
does not even own itself. The
land belongs only to God,
Who binds together all of
these into wholeness.
In our society, we image
God in many ways; some of us,
in no way at all. Yet the
religious communities that
rest on the Bible have a lear-
ning to share with all of us:
the learning that rest, and
rhythm, and wholeness are
profoundly necessary wheth-
er one connects them to the
name "God" or not.
Two chapters after describ-
ing the sabbatical-Jubilee
rhythm, Leviticus (27:35)
gives us a stark warning: if
we do not let the earth rest
through joy and sharing, it
will take its rest anyway - in
the form of desolation. As
Earth Day approaches, this is
a truth that the Jewish com-
munity can cry out to all
humanity.

Operation Exodus
Briefing Set
A briefing meeting on
Operation Exodus, the cam-
paign to rescue and resettle
Soviet Jews, will be held for
leaders of synagogues,
temples and Jewish Com-
munity Council-affiliated
organizatitons at 7:30 p.m.
April 23 in the La Med
Auditorium of the United
Hebrew Schools.
Sponsored by the Jewish
Welfare Federation, the non-
solicitation meeting will focus
on the urgency of this special
effort, prompted by reports of
mounting Soviet anti-
Semitism and the growing
fears of the Russian Jews.
Federation President Mark
Schlussel and Executive Vice
President Robert Aronson
will discuss with the
organizations how their
members can participate in
Operation Exodus.
For information, call Fern
Hoberman Kepes, 965-3939.
