An often less well-known aspect of Shmitah is the nullification of all outstanding debts that goes into effect at the end of the seventh year. This presents many problems for those who still desire to be repaid. How did Hillel find a way to encourage the Jews to continue lending money with the enactment of Prusbul (a document that circumvents the nullification)? And how does one make a Prusbul today?

Going to the local Makolet must be done with open eyes and a store of knowledge. Is the produce Arab grown, imported or grown in questionable areas? How does one treat produce of a Shomer Shevi'is?

What makes the legal system of mishpatim so different from laws enforced by all other societies? Why does it make sense that their laws downgrade to fit the times the live in, and ours is immutable but applicable? We don't live according to laws - our actions reflect the depths of spiritual truths that are the fabric of creation. How does this help us understand all of the mizvos we observe, and prayer in particular?

Are little white lies ever appropriate - such as when being asked about personal information you don't care to share? If that is so, what about the confusion that will engender in our children and those with more straightforward ideas of honesty? An excellent class on a difficult subject.
