Hesterman, Sussman, Fogelman, Davison and Doctor participate in a panel
presentation.

Shmitah events for the Ann Arbor
Reconstructionist Congregation wel-
come the greater community.
"Look for the presence of our group
at a roundtable about 'the commons'
at the International Day of Peace, for
programs on debt forgiveness as a
micro- and macro-practice, for proj-
ects on food systems and land stew-
ardship, studies and trainings, and
opportunities to explore rest, release,
remission and reconstruction:' Epstein
said.
Part of the group's mission is to
reach out to the unaffiliated as well,
on both a very personal level as well
as through the community events.
"And with environmental and food
issues making headlines every day, I
believe this shmitah cycle is coming

at exactly the right time Caplan said.
"Together, through study, celebration
and action, we can make this year
a meaningful shmitah, truly a rest,
a release, a Shabbat Shabbaton, the
Shabbat of Shabbats."
Why not a shmitah "Farm-to-
Shabbos- table" program?
"I personally believe its time has
come Caplan said. "We are very
excited about the possibilities for the
shmitah year and are still planning
and dreaming how we can use
shmitah to have a powerful Jewish-
based influence on people's lives:'
