by Rabbi Mordechai Kanner Hardcover Pub. Date: 2002, Publisher: Feldheim / Targum ISBN: 1568712723 Lending money with interest can be a violation of up to six Torah prohibitions.

Written in a particularly clear and cogent manner with practical applications and examples, this volume even includes standardized heter iska forms. A Matter of Interest will help ensure that we bring the same level of careful Torah observance that we have in our homes and shuls to our workplace as well. |

In short, there is something in this book for everyone -- and the guidelines the reader will derive from the discussions of these real-life cases will train him or her in how to conduct life according the Torah's practical guidelines. Indeed, to do otherwise may well involve serious transgressions. Above all, these are practical, down-to-earth discussions by a man who actually decides such dilemmas.
