Funny how a "Christian Nation" supposedly with "Judeo-Christian Values" does NOT have a Jubilee
The Jubilee (Hebrew: יובל yōḇel; Yiddish: yoyvl) is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years) and, according to biblical regulations, had a special impact on the ownership and management of land in the Land of Israel. According to the Book of Leviticus, Hebrew slaves and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven, and the mercies of Yahweh would be particularly manifest.
Rabbinic
literature mentions a dispute between the Sages and Rabbi Yehuda over
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. The Jubilee ("Year of Release") deals largely with land,
property, and property rights.
The biblical rules concerning
Sabbatical years are still observed by many religious Jews in Israel,
but the regulations for the Jubilee year have not been observed for many
centuries. According to the post-exile rabbinic interpretation of
Torah, observance of Jubilee only applied when the Jewish people live in
the land of Israel according to their tribes.

Sounds like a Judeo-Christian Value, when is a Jubilee supposed to happen again?
