A Year of Faith
 The Shemitah (Sabbatical) Year -- its laws, traditions, and timeless messages.

We are new to the ways of our fathers. I had heard of the shemitah but had thought that it began 5769.
In our ignorance we had begun a garden, what do we do?
Does this mean that we are not to even harvest or pick any wild fruit, fruit trees and corn when in season?
I had picked some wild blackberries recently and the consequencies have become evident. Since reading this I understand that it is the Shemitah. Oy vey!
So, no gardening or harvesting of any kind? wild or domestic?

Shemitah only applies in the biblical land of Israel. Since you live outside of Israel, you are exempt from these restrictions. You do however, need to excercise caution when purchasing fruit from Israel.

Stock market crashed in this Shemitah year and had been vulnerable in previous Shemitah years. How should we interpret this phenomenon?
