MONEY & HALAKHA

The book "Money & Halakha" deals with the rights and duties of man in society, more particularly in the civil and economic field.

These laws, which we all (men, women, young people, professionals as well as individuals) face on a daily basis, are of paramount importance for maintaining a harmonious society and ensuring that divine blessing rests upon all our endeavors.

The Talmud teaches us that the first question asked of a man when he appears before the heavenly tribunal will be: "Have you been honest in your business and in your dealings with others?"

This honesty, so important in the eyes of God, can only arise from the knowledge and application of the Torah laws that govern our society. To help us with this, this work by Rabbi Yitzhak Silver addresses our daily questions in detail:

* How are costs distributed within a condominium?
* To whom and how can money be lent?
* How to manage a business partnership
* How should profits be distributed between partners?
My neighbor is making too much noise... what are my rights?
* Rabbinical courts: why?
He hadn't told me it cost money...
