The word ``jubilee`` is derived from the Hebrew word jobel, which means ``ram`s horn``; since it was precisely that horn which was used as a trumpet, whose sound indicated to everybody the beginning of the jubilee year. The book of Leviticus speaks of the significance of the jubilee year, a year of liberation ``par excellence,`` which is at the end of seven weeks of years, the fiftieth year.
