JubileeCalled Acceptable Year of YHVHIsa_61:2

Called The Year of LibertyEze_46:17

Laws concerningLev 25:8-55; Lev_27:17-24; Num_36:4

The Encyclopedia Americana says

"The [Jubilee] law as a whole was distinctly Theocratic; it vindicated the absolutism of YHVH; it meant that Hebrews were the servants of Him, and could not therefore continue to be the slaves of their fellowmen; the land belonged to Him, and was only lent to the Hebrew tribes and families, who could not therefore be driven out by any human arrangement."

The Torah is associated with freedom:

Tehillim (Psalms) 119:41-48 {Waw} May your unfailing love come to me, HaShem, your salvation according to your promise; Then I will answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in your word. Do not snatch the word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws. I will always obey your law, for ever and ever. I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts. I will speak of your statutes before kings and will not be put to shame, For I delight in your commands because I love them. I lift up my hands to your commands, which I love, and I meditate on your decrees.

Megillat Ruth

ReasonsThere are various reasons for reading this Scroll on Shavuot:

Megillat Ruth tells the story of a tiller of the soil in Eretz Israel, a man who sows and gives "leket" (the poor man's share of the crop), who reaps and sleeps in barns.

Shavuot is the festival of the farmer. –

The story of Ruth occurred between the barley harvest and the wheat harvest, namely during the reaping period. Thus it is fitting that the Megillah be read on the Festival of Reaping.

According to traditionKing David died on Shavuot, and the Megillah tells of the beginning of the Davidian dynasty (Ruth was the mother of King David,s grandfather).

Thus on Shavuot it is also customary to visit King David's tomb on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

StoryMegillat Ruth relates the story of the family of Elimelech of the tribe of Judah, in the days of the Judges. Elimelech, his wife Naomi, and their two sons Machlon and Chilyon, left Beit Lechem [Bethlehem], where there was a famine, and settled in the fields of Moab. There, the two sons married Moabite women - Orpah and Ruth.In time, the father and his two sons died there, leaving Naomi and her two daughters-in-law. When Naomi decided to return to her homeland, one of her daughters-in-law, Ruth, refused to be separated from her, and accompanied her. By chance, Ruth became acquainted with Boaz when she went to gather ears of corn in his field. The Torah obliges the Israelite farmer to allow the stranger, the orphan and the widow to gather from his crop, and Ruth was a stranger and a widow.Boaz was attracted to Ruth and married her. The child born of this marriage, Oved, was King David's grandfather.

RUTH 1:1 ¶ Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
