In Jewish tradition, the Jubilee year (Hebrew: Yovel or יובל) occurs every 50th year, as outlined in the Torah in the Book of Leviticus (Chapter 25). The Jubilee year is marked by the liberation of slaves, the return of lands to their original owners, and the general reset of social and economic inequalities.
Jubilee years are observed following a cycle of seven sets of seven years, with the 50th year being a year of release. Below is a list of some of the Jewish Jubilee years, starting from the time the Israelites entered the Land of Israel:

The 50th Jubilee year (1967 CE): This is a particularly significant year for Jewish history, as it coincided with the Six-Day War in which Israel reunified Jerusalem.
The 70th Jubilee Year (2017 CE): Based on the 50-year cycle, this marks the 70th year since Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, and it also coincides with significant events in modern Israeli history.
