Shmita is every 7 years and Jubilee is every 49 years; 7 seven year cycles.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmitahttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_(biblical)Alexander, I've heard that scholars don't know for sure which are the correct years because they lost track some time in history when they weren't observing Shmia.

My name is Chinda David, I live in Lincoln NE and have been  investing in real estate for about a year now.I am still learning and observing all things real estate.
