It is undoubtedly the most influential book on shemitta, the biblical sabbatical year, to have appeared in the modern era. The work includes a soaring, lyrical introduction in which Rav Kook sets out his vision of the social and spiritual renewal embodied in shemitta.\u003cdl\u003eThe Sabbath of the Land makes this essential book accessible to English speaking readers. It presents an original, annotated translation of the entire introduction and includes selections from Rav Kook's halakhic work, rendered in fluent, readable English. These are illuminated by contextualizing essays on Rav Kook's life and thought, the historical background to Shabbat HaAretz, and the book's enduring power.\u003cdl\u003eIn this brilliant translation of Rav Kook's work and in his accompanying essays, Yedidya Sinclair succeeds in clarifying the paradoxes of shemitta....
