Lend on Me

But if you get back more than you gave, and it was a "loan", then you have violated the commandment against receiving interest on a loan to your countryman (a fellow Jew). You are allowed to get back more than you gave only if it was a gift, not a loan, or it was a loan to a gentile.

And you supposedly get it back tenfold, which would violate secular usury laws as well, if it is a loan. (You are allowed to get back that much on an investment without guaranteed return, such as when you contribute to a new business in return for a percentage of any future profit that the business makes, which could be nothing, but on a loan with guaranteed return, the interest rate is typically limited to about 20-30% per year.)

Lend on Me As I read this message today I couldn't help but know that this is so true as I have experienced it from giving of myself. It proves that we can trust in God's word and He wants us to trust Him in all things. Reply

Live to Give I have been blessed with a husband who enjoys giving as much as I do. We give tzedakah often in many, many ways. The return for our giving may not be paid back to us in money (yet) it ,however, has been given back to us in health, joy and compassion for our neighbors within this world. The joy of the LORD is truly our strength! Reply

247...Lend on Me Those of us in the rooms of AA, Alanon, Alateen believe that to keep the recovery we have gained we must first give it away. Once we have done that we find that it always keeps coming back. Reply
