Sabbatical

A message to all members of Scripture Studies

Gentle Readers,

We are on extended sabbatical . Sorry that we can not respond to your urgent emails, you may contact one of the other at scripture Institute. Or you may leave messages with Rabbi Del and Rifkah, Plumber, Dr. Ley or Minister Donna Dixon at http://scripturestudies.spruz.com ("Where scholarship and study meet". A study and social network an outreach of Scripture Institute). Sabbatical or a sabbatical (from Latin sabbaticus, from Greek sabbatikos, from Hebrew shabbat, i.e., Sabbath, literally a "ceasing") is a rest from work, or a hiatus, often lasting from two months to a year. The concept of sabbatical has a source in shmita, described several places in the Bible (Leviticus 25, for example, where there is a commandment to desist from working the fields in the seventh year). In the strict sense, therefore, sabbatical lasts a year.

Cheers,
Dr's Denis and Marti O'Callaghan
