The Year of Jubilee
The land of Israel is a royal estate owned by the king and he invites you as his servants to live on it. Every seven years, there's a Sabbath year in which no work can be done on the land. After forty-nine Sabbaths that means we'll have a 50th year - this will be called Jubilee. The word 'Jubilee' comes from an Hebrew word for horn or trumpet. It also refers to what happens when people sell some of their land because they're so impoverished.
