FRAUD FREE

[56b top] Mishnah: R’ Yehudah: When on sells Torah scrolls, animals, or jewels, there is no consideration/prohibition of Ona’ah (‘price fraud’).

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should always be extra careful to steer clear of fraudulent activities. Even though there may not be technical prohibitions regarding specific business transactions (and lifestyle decisions), we should still make sure to live with “G-dly goodness.”  The more we try to deal properly, correctly, and generously with others, the more Hashem will act more beneficially to us.
