In the year after
Seven Sabbatical years
The Jubilee year

Your slaves shall go free
And all land shall be redeemed
It belongs to G-d

In the year after
Seven Sabbatical years
The Jubilee year
–
Your slaves shall go free
And all land shall be redeemed
It belongs to G-d
–
counting the omer
practicing the jubilee
for us and the land
following the rules
receiving the blessings
avoiding curses
one of the key rules:
“do not wrong one another”
God in each person
food, land, property
it doesn’t belong to us
we all borrow it
in a hungry land
the fruit is spiritual
how can we taste it?
the exits are sealed
“you shall flee though none pursues”
when you think bad thoughts
everything can be
both reward & punishment
for better or worse
all of us fall short
no one obeys all the rules
everyone suffers
we make our choices
and can always return back
to community
each bad thought we have
cuts us off from trees of life
yet not forever
do good to do good
the good deed is the reward
blessings for ourselves
where are we going?
the afterlife is today
and tomorrow too!
