Bava Metzia 71 – More Than Lip Service

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Metzia 71, gives us a fiery lesson in business ethics. We investigate the Talmud’s claim that lending with interest is akin to denying Hashem’s existence. How should businesspeople commit to ethics in a way that’s more than just lip service? Listen and find out.  Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
