Actually, the Torah is is to be read on a seven tear Talmudic Cycle (Schmita), not read every seven years. Anyone who would tell you that Judaism does not have or need teachers (Rabbis) because the Torah simple enough for a child to understand is a fool.
I am talking of the Torah, not the talmud:
Deu 31:9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
Deu 31:10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
Deu 31:11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Deu 31:12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
Deu 31:13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

Judaism has forgotten the Torah in favor of their oral traditions (Talmud). Sound familiar?
