Description
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
Similar to ona’at mammon, in which neither the consumer nor the seller may perform it (consumer can’t underpay; seller can’t overcharge), the prohibition of taking interest applies to both borrower and lender (borrower can’t give it; lender can’t charge/accept it). How does this factor impact our understanding of what the prohibition of interest (ribit) is all about?
