Announcing Hazon's Inaugural Jewish Art Competition: The Shmita Prizes – Boulder Jewish News

Hazon, the Jewish Lab for Sustainability non-profit, officially opened submissions for
The Shmita Prizes– an international arts competition with five different prizes. The goal is to draw attention to and raise awareness of the forthcoming shmita year (beginning Rosh Hashanah 2021). Categories include: ritual object, fine art, film or video, performance art/music/liturgy, plus a fifth category for the written word – essays and ideas.
Shmita is “a year of letting go”. It takes place every seven years in the Jewish calendar – it is indeed where the modern notion of a “sabbatical” comes from. “Shmita offers a remarkable framework for addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time,” said Hazon CEO, Nigel Savage. “Shmita is about our relation to land and food; to community and boundaries; to work, overwork and rest; and to debt relief and the amelioration of inequality. Each of these topics is a significant issue in contemporary life.” ....

Hazon's director Nigel Savage announces Shmita prizes | Richard H. Schwartz

But first, I want to put these prizes in context, beginning with a word about
shabbat, shmita’s temporal Jewish sibling. The world needs shabbat right now. We need boundaries. We need rest. We need time when we switch off electronics. We need at least one day that we don’t buy stuff. We need at least one day that we spend with family and friends. After a boundary-less year of covid, our need for some kind of structured shabbat has never been greater.
And so, then, to shmita. The word means something like “letting go.” It’s part of the Torah. You could argue that it’s a somewhat obscure part of the Torah. In Israel, every seven years, there’s an ongoing public argument about the price of vegetables – because of shmita. And roughly every seven years, most orthodox shuls, and in recent years a growing number of non-orthodox shuls, have had someone speak or teach about shmita. It’s a fine topic for a sermon one day. ....
