Every fifty years, the Torah tells us, we’re supposed to go back and start again. We’re to sound the trumpet on Yom Kipur and proclaim yoveil, the Jubilee, a time of release, rest, and restoration. If you have had to sell your family property — even if you sold it decades ago — it is to be returned to you. No matter how far off track you’ve gone, you get another chance. You get to try again.

Unless you live in a walled city, of course.
