Jubilee is an appointed time when God’s mercies and forgiveness of sins physically manifests.

Leviticus 25:9 says;

Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement  you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land.

An appointed year or other period, in which a planary indulgence is granted upon repentance, renouncing of sins and performance of certain religious acts. 

The completion of a cycle of 50 years of existence, or 25 year of activity, or its celebration as it is written in the Mosaic law: 
Our college will celebrate its jubilee next year.

The event of Jubilee is always celebrated in the seventh month called Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar on the day of Rosh Hashnah and Yom Kippur.
