BRIGHT BORROWING

[88a bottom] Rava quoting R’ Nachman: Any creditor may collect a debt without the debtor being present [otherwise, people would borrow money and run away overseas to avoid collections (and lenders would be discouraged from giving out money to avoid this potential loss)].

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should always try to give advantages to lenders to fulfill great Mitzvos and help those in need. By enabling people to help others, we continue a cycle of good begetting more good throughout the world. We must always actively look for further ways to bring more positivity and light into the lives of all those around us.
