משך חכמה — ושבתם איש אל אחוזתו ואיש אל משפחתו

Q — What is the peshat of "ואיש אל משפחתו תשובו" — beyond the standard derashah about freeing an eved ivri (which seems out of context)?

A — When a family sells its fields, the members scatter to seek פרנסה elsewhere; the return of lands to their original owners at the יובל forces the family back together around the ancestral fields. The pasuk teaches an additional תועלת of the יובל — the reunification of the family unit, attesting to how highly the Torah values the integrity of the משפחה.
