The Hebrew term Shabbaton, (Hebrew: שבתון), may be loosely translated into English to mean Sabbatical. In Israel, when one takes a Shabbaton, one takes the year off in search of other pursuits. It is a rest from work, a hiatus, typically 2 months plus. The concept of a sabbatical has a source in 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, a sabbatical lasts a year. However, in recent times, a sabbatical has come to mean any extended absence in the career of an individual.
