LEV956 Below the shofar on Yom Kippur of the Yovel year. If a man has had a slave for many years, it is difficult for the master to free him. It is known, however, that the shofar awakens a person's heart. When the time arrives to emancipate such slaves, in order to help masters to fulfill their obligation, Hashem commands that the shofar be sounded throughout the land. Hearing it, each master knows that he is not the only one who must part with his trusted worker. Nothing gives more strength and comfort than the knowledge that other Jews are doing the same thing. Similarly, when the servant hears the shofar, he knows that his time has come to leave. Even if he has great affection for his master, he realizes that other slaves, despite having similar feelings, are leaving. In this way, the mitzvah is fulfilled. All property and all Jewish servants return to the True Master, the Master of all.
