Gyvenkim broliškai

Gyvenkim broliškai, rokundą veskim žydiškai.

The Hebrew Bible regulates interest taking. Interest can be charged to strangers but not between Jews.

Deuteronomy 23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother: interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of any thing that is lent upon interest. Deuteronomy 23:20 Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

Usury (in the original sense of any interest) was at times denounced by a number of religious leaders and philosophers in the ancient world, including Plato, Aristotle, Cato, Cicero, Seneca, Aquinas, Muhammad, Moses, Philo and Gautama Buddha.

For example, Cato in his De Re Rustica said:

"And what do you think of usury?" — "What do you think of murder?"

Tai kuom gi mūsų vyriausybė mūsų senelius laiko, skaitliuką jiems įjungdama?

5,564 proc. metinių palūkanų - čia pagal reitingus?

Vyriausybė banką vaidina...

Perskolina.

Israelites were forbidden to charge interest on loans made to other Israelites, but allowed to charge interest on transactions with non-Israelites, as the latter were often amongst the Israelites for the purpose of business anyway, but in general, it was seen as advantageous to avoid getting into debt at all to avoid being bound to someone else. Debt was to be avoided and not used to finance consumption, but only when in need. However, the laws against usury were among the many which the prophets condemn the people for breaking.

Johnson contends that the Torah treats lending as philanthropy in a poor community whose aim was collective survival, but which is not obliged to be charitable towards outsiders.

Nors ir iš torių save kildina mūsų vyriausybė, bet Toros neuvažoja.

Jeigu su "Sodra" šitaip.

Ar neišvarys iš sinagogos?

A great deal of Jewish legal scholarship in the Dark and the Middle Ages was devoted to making business dealings fair, honest and efficient.

Dabar viskas stabilu.
