"... "
n todays daf we find a dispute regarding whether one can pay another
with eggs which have a blood spot.
The verse states,
A close neighbor is better than
a distant brother. Very often neighbors
ask all sorts of help from one another. In
many poorer communities, neighbors
lend each other what they require but are
absolutely insistent that what was loaned
be totally returned.
A certain man who lived in a poor
neighborhood borrowed some eggs from
his neighbor, but was dismayed to find
maintains that the lender can even take possession of the borrowers property that was sold to a neighbor. According to one
opinion3 the neighbors have the right to protest the borrowers
putting his land up as security for the loan since that act could
compromise their interest and this could undermine the law of
altogether. A land owner who wants to sell his land to
someone other than his neighbor will borrow money from that
person and use the land as security for the loan. Once the
lender has the land as security he has first rights to the land and
preempts all the neighbors. Other authorities4 disagree and
maintain that the owner of the land may use his land as security
as he chooses.
