The Sabbatical Year occurred on a cycle of seven years, in which every seventh year was a year when the land was allowed to lie fallow (Leviticus ch.25) and debts were released (Deuteronomy ch.15).
After seven such cycles an extra year, the 50th year, was declared the year of Yovel (Jubilee). In that year any land which had been sold reverted to its original owners, thus ensuring that there could never be a landless class. Even if your parents were profligate and got into debt and had to sell their land, you would eventually have your land back and be able to make a new start.
Unfortunately, although the social benefits of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are great, human nature meant that they were not always kept.
Yes, but only by some Jews.
The Sabbath occurs every week.
1978 VH opened for Sabbath
The Torah establishes the Sabbath with commandments to keep the Sabbath day, to remember the Sabbath day, and constraining what may be done on the Sabbath. And, in the Jewish liturgy that emerged from this framework, the Sabbath morning service includes a Torah reading where, traditionally, about 1/52 of the Torah is read, so that over the course of the year, every Jew who attends Sabbath services on a regular basis will hear (and, we hope, learn from) the entire Torah.
It was recorded in 1970 and released in 1971.
There are very many "Jubilee"s; one is the Hebrew: The Jubilee (Hebrew yovel יובל) year is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years).There is some debate whether it was the 49th year (the last year of seven sabbatical cycles, referred to as the Sabbath's Sabbath), or whether it was the following (50th) year.
Yes, but only by some Jews.
