Shemitah - do we care?
A co-worker buddy lately has been going on about the upcoming 7-year Jewish cycle of Shemitah...predicting something major and dire is going to happen on or around Sept. 13th. Stock market collapse...major war...or some such thing. Yadda yadda.
Normally I wouldn't give such talk the time of day. But this guy's fairly intelligent and keeps up with a lot of economic, social and political world happenings. At times he's a bit of a tinfoil hatter - but he's not a Chicken Little or "the end is nigh" kinda guy - and he seems especially adament lately about this Shemitah cycle.
Anyone heard anything similiar recently? Any warnings? Signs?
Or should we break out the tinfoil hats and just drink ourselves into oblivion like 1999?
