Immigration Thread

Based on Biblical and Talmudic law, Jews are prohibited from charging interest (ribit) on loans to other Jews, as it is considered exploiting a fellow community member's hardship. This principle aims to foster brotherly support and financial independence, often resulting in interest-free loan societies within the community.

Key details regarding this rule:
Biblical Basis: The Torah forbids "biting" (interest) a fellow Jew, viewing it as taking advantage of misfortune.

Scope: The prohibition applies to personal loans between Jewish individuals.

Business Alternatives: To manage risk in a modern economy, tools like heter iska (a partnership agreement) are used to legally restructure a loan as an investment, allowing for profit-sharing instead of interest.

Non-Jews: The prohibition does not apply to transactions with non-Jews.
