Ruling: We will now discuss pl’s responsibility for not keeping to the amount of credit he was allowed to give customers. Pl claimed that he did not receive enough training. Beit din rejects this claim, as he had clear lists and knew exactly what was beyond the limits. The amounts given were large and when given in installments, the installments were close together. Apparently, the hope for large profits from the high interest enticed pl to exceed limits.
Pl does have a better claim – that def had access to all the records in real time and allowed these large loans to go through, probably on purpose; at least he should have known about them. Def claims that he did not notice how large the credits were. However, from the testimony of Mr. P. and the records of guarantees that def arranged in certain cases, we see a pattern of def being aware and deciding when the amounts were acceptable to him. Under these circumstances, it is correct to divide responsibility for the failed loans, with def, the owner, being mainly responsible. Since it is impossible to know how to quantify, we will employ logical compromise positions (see Shulchan Aruch, CM 12:5). Beit din employed logic in each case and set a formula to deal with the possibilities that some portion of the money owed by defaulting borrowers will be recovered. Regarding the claims of expenses by pl, beit din accepted two thirds of the amounts.
Pl’s action of receiving cash from certain borrowers even though their checks were given to sup was unconscionable. Therefore, all damages to other parties that resulted will be only on pl.

Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
