Chasidut sur Le Lévitique 25:10

And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year, proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants, it shall be a Jubilee for you; each of you shall return to his ancestral lands and every man will return to his family (Lev. 25:10).

What is the meaning of the name Yovel? Rashi suggests that this name refers to the fact that the year’s special laws are set in motion through blowing the ram’s horn. Nachmanides however offers a different expla- nation, “In my opinion, Scripture does not call the year Yovel because of the blowing [of the horn], but with reference to ‘the liberty’ [that it brings the inhabitants of the land].” Nachmanides then quotes many sources for his contention that Yovel means “to bring.” He closes his argument by stating, “By the way of truth [we learn]... Yovel means that every being will return [be brought back] to the source [yoveil] where his roots lie.”³²¹Nachmanides, commentary on Lev. 25:10.
