This mitzvah (Torah commandment) appears in the Torah in three different places &ndash; each in a different context: Exodus 23:10-11, Leviticus 25:1-7, and Deuteronomy 15:1-7. This artwork questions the consequences of our neglecting the commandment. Not resting, not addressing our own spiritual needs and by not doing so not addressing those of the world we have been commanded to keep.<br/> Sat, 28 Apr 2012 23:00:07 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201244 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201244"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/6a7ac5630ac0f5ecc70f8f85124b7838/6a7ac5630ac0f5ecc70f8f85124b7838_scale_18_80.jpg" height="80" width="18" border="1" alt="Lamentations 8" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:52:09 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201243 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201243"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/e876caa1238f9e7d9f04a46e1ba9b2bb/e876caa1238f9e7d9f04a46e1ba9b2bb_scale_17_80.jpg" height="80" width="17" border="1" alt="Lamentations 7" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:51:56 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201241 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201241"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/86f6b47010f366e9c5c54f4dcd799198/86f6b47010f366e9c5c54f4dcd799198_scale_17_80.jpg" height="80" width="17" border="1" alt="Lamentations 6" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:51:28 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201240 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201240"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/2a72d2c0a2905419dd96ef1c07cbb188/2a72d2c0a2905419dd96ef1c07cbb188_scale_17_80.jpg" height="80" width="17" border="1" alt="Lamentations 5" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:51:09 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201239 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201239"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/2a386e13df15296790ae80b30be0c2a9/2a386e13df15296790ae80b30be0c2a9_scale_18_80.jpg" height="80" width="18" border="1" alt="Lamentations 4" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:50:46 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201236 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201236"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/6885f0fe368937774dedbadbb86e0809/6885f0fe368937774dedbadbb86e0809_scale_19_80.jpg" height="80" width="19" border="1" alt="Lamentations 3" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:50:17 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201235 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201235"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/6836e9165867d07581b372ddd1c29f44/6836e9165867d07581b372ddd1c29f44_scale_17_80.jpg" height="80" width="17" border="1" alt="Lamentations 2" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:49:55 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201234 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201234"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/5240955a8e5c4bf627d121590a611708/5240955a8e5c4bf627d121590a611708_scale_17_80.jpg" height="80" width="17" border="1" alt="Lamentations 1" /></a><br/><br/> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:49:33 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201107 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201107"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/e4f9d96b2797eeddd0828ea843f64616/e4f9d96b2797eeddd0828ea843f64616_scale_62_80.jpg" height="80" width="62" border="1" alt="Kaddish" /></a><br/><br/> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:04:28 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201106 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201106"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/5d839121e6a5c802d26cf8f86d1d8ad9/5d839121e6a5c802d26cf8f86d1d8ad9_scale_60_80.jpg" height="80" width="60" border="1" alt="Avodah" /></a><br/><br/> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:02:44 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201104 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201104"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/9a8274c95cfc0d8b21ceedac8fe0ea05/9a8274c95cfc0d8b21ceedac8fe0ea05_scale_60_80.jpg" height="80" width="60" border="1" alt="Eve: a Mother&#39;s Dance" /></a><br/><br/> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:42:14 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201099 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=201099"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_17644/cc72103aded482129a4d57b7d8afe010/cc72103aded482129a4d57b7d8afe010_scale_73_80.jpg" height="80" width="73" border="1" alt="Remnants from the Nest" /></a><br/><br/> Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:28:28 GMT Lynda Monick-Isenberg
