Hi,
Today we begin a new topic: lending money.
We are biblically instructed to lend money to people in need of loans, whether those people are destitute or not.
Loans are viewed, from a Torah perspective, as the highest form of tzedakah, because this is a form of aid which enables the recipient to build wealth with dignity.
[Note that because the law prohibits accepting interest payments on loans, a loan is truly an act of charity.]
(Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat 97:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
