The Sanhedrin made its first historical decision on 26 Mar Cheshvan 5775, exactly on time. The subject of the decision, the return of the Yovel year, was quite in line with expectations.
As I read the decision, year 5727 is, after the fact, recognized as a Yovel year, and hence this year, 5776, is to be a Yovel year also. This is the year that 507 of Chesed is reached, and the redemption is announced.
When the Yovel was blown all over the land of Israel, more or less simultaneously, at the end of Yom Kippur, it was the sound that wanted to announce the redemption. Rejoice, heaven and earth, rejoice and be glad, especially this Succot!
