<p dir="ltr">RMB posited that according to R' Yehuda, yovel is not synchronous with the seven shemitot cycle, and inch forward every cycle by one year, so that it will first be the first year of shemitta, fifty years later the second, fifty years later the third.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While admitting that it has been a while since I covered those sources, I do believe that his explanation is in error.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Both RY and Rabbanan agree that yovel and shemitta are synchronised. The question is only whether the jubilee year is part of the sabbatical count and year fifty is at once also year one (RY), or whether jubilee interrupts the count and year one is the fifty first year of the previous cycle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course, I could be wrong, but that is what I recall.</p>
