[4] Laws of Ribbis - interest 🪙 #Torah #shorts

Why would the prohibition against charging interest include a specific reminder about the Exodus from Egypt? Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner explores the Torah laws surrounding the prohibition of charging interest to fellow Jews, known as Ribbis. Drawing from the book of Vayikra, Rabbi Lerner clarifies why the Torah strictly forbids financial gain through lending money to one another. The video delves into the deeper meaning behind the verse where Hashem explicitly links the prohibition of Ribbis to the history of the Exodus. By referencing the plague of the firstborn in Egypt, the Torah reveals that Hashem knows our true intent, even when we attempt to disguise our actions or deceive others. Rabbi Lerner warns against the temptation to bypass these laws by falsely claiming that funds belong to non-Jews. He emphasizes that one cannot hide their actions from Hashem, who knows exactly whose money is being lent and the nature of the transaction. The message serves as a powerful reminder to trust in Hashem for our financial needs and maintain holiness in our business dealings. Acting with integrity in financial matters is essential for success in this world and maintaining our portion in the world to come. We are encouraged to uphold the laws of the Torah rather than seeking shortcuts that lead to spiritual and physical misfortune. What are the laws of Ribbis in the Torah?
