Exo 23:10-13 BSB 10 For six years you are to sow your land and gather its produce, 11 but in the seventh year you must let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat from the field and the wild animals may consume what they leave. Do the same with your vineyard and olive grove. 12 For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your maidservant may be refreshed, as well as the foreign resident.
This is the first time the sabbatical year is mentioned. It is at Sinai, in the book of the covenant. It is not preceded or qualified by "once you come into the land". It is a command that stands on its own.
We are keeping the sabbatical this year, because by the timeline given in scripture, and confirmed by historical documents, this is the right year. I didnt plant much of anything last year, either, which is good because it wouldnt have been harvested before the seventh month.

Some people's job is to go into the field. Some people's job is to facilitate their going. There's no shame in a humble life's calling. You will find great fulfillment in it if you embrace it, but if you run from your calling, know that there is a big fish waiting to swallow you up and take you back.
Facilitate the calling of other people whenever you can. Feed, house, clothe, transport, etc. Be ready to help everyone, but give priority to God's people, especially if they are busy on God's work. Remember how the nations in Israel's path to the Land refused to help them and were subsequently impoverished, dispossessed, or destroyed.
Matthew 10:40-42
Why is it that Mexican grandmothers don’t want to talk about their families’ history? Could it be that there is a Jewish element in their ancestry, and they are still afraid it might be discovered? This is one of the topics Revis Daggett addresses in the third part of our conversation about the Hidden Jews, or Anusim, of the Americas. As she explains, elements of Jewish and Hebraic identity have followed the exiles of Israel wherever they went – not only in the Hispanic world, but also in such unexpected places as Ireland.
The global scattering of Israel happened because God’s Covenant People weren’t acting like His people. That’s a problem we still have today, as Barry and David explain in their midrash, “Waterless Clouds.” The remedy is in remaining closely connected with our Creator, as we hear in Will Spires’ music inspired by the Psalms.
