Re-returning

Hi,

One must return a lost item until it is fully "returned." This means that if one is returning an animal, and one puts it in the owner's yard and it runs away again, one must continue to return it.

The exception, as we said several emails ago, is if the owner is irresponsible, knowingly creating a situation in which his property will be lost.

(Code of Jewish Law Choshen Mishpat 267:2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
