  Moral issues, shit, number 18, the final say, on business
• 0:05
  ethics. The person really believes in
• 0:08
  Hashem and part of that belief will be thy shame determined,
• 0:12
  who has what and how much money you have, what, your level of
• 0:15
  wealth is, what items you possess.
• 0:18
  Then, I'm just joking taking it for a joke or I'll give it back
• 0:21
  to you later borrowing, which is really in that, in this case,
• 0:26
  another word for taking without permission is also not allowed.
• 0:32
  People that take. Summing up from other people in
• 0:36
  a jokey way essentially really deep down.
• 0:39
  They want that item then don't believe that.
• 0:41
  I shame has decided that they shouldn't have it and it's a
• 0:45
  slippery slope. When one takes things more from
• 0:48
  another person, even just in a joking manner to actually
• 0:53
  stealing from them properly. One day, a person wants me to
• 0:57
  borrow an item such as a taller, a bike and the owner is not
• 1:01
  around and it will Put back will be if we take it, we could
• 1:06
  return before the owner even knows about it.
• 1:09
  Would that be allowed? Well.
• 1:13
  Let's use the formula with used up to now.
• 1:16
  If this has been borrowed in the past, someone knows the owner
• 1:19
  would not mind. Then it would be permitted but
• 1:23
  if one is not sure what you don't know.
• 1:26
  If the owner would mind, then you can't assume that just
• 1:30
  because you would be happy with it, but somebody else would be
• 1:33
  happy. So, there are mum says the
• 1:36
  rambam. Why is this stealing of no one
• 1:39
  will ever know besides the fact that both the thief and Hashem
• 1:43
  will Mo even borrowing an item? without asking that having
• 1:49
  permission is called stealing, it could be that you've used it.
• 1:56
  It's not in the pristine condition that it was in.
• 1:59
  Maybe you've blunted the knife or the tall in some way, made
• 2:03
  something a little bit dirty, you've devalued the item and
• 2:07
  you've taken away something from the owner of that particular
• 2:11
  tool or item, whatever it might be. and perhaps through you
• 2:17
  using it, you're going to cause the item to need to be fixed or
• 2:20
  repaired or Even discarded at an earlier time, since even the
• 2:26
  smallest amount of being used up is stealing borrowing, that
• 2:30
  provision is also Stealing. In addition, to all the reasons
• 2:35
  for a Jew, not to steal, according to the definition that
• 2:39
  we've been using, there's another more important reason,
• 2:43
  If you have kids or something. Bring on Eternal Shamu, causing
• 2:48
  a Shams to be Russians named be Dishonored, each time the Jews
• 2:52
  Steals, and it's now only, he or she is Jewish, then it makes it
• 2:56
  is a big deal. People say, oh, the Jews, take
• 2:59
  the Jews for Jews that on the other hand, if a person doesn't
• 3:02
  still, it's know that the reason is because that they're Jewish,
• 3:06
  that's not the way we behave. Then the name of the Jewish
• 3:09
  people is Sanctified the name of God is sanctified.
• 3:13
  So for the child returns cash to the cashier and lets her know is
• 3:17
  because Judaism demands. It not only will the cashier be
• 3:21
  grateful that money that belongs to the shop has been found.
• 3:26
  But when you then say, Oh My Judaism says, I have to return
• 3:28
  this because I'm Jewish. He did.
• 3:30
  Would you do it? Did a good service for the
• 3:32
  Jewish people. The story in the gemara Shimon,
• 3:37
  the son of Shattuck bought a donkey from an Arab and then
• 3:40
  found that there was a diamond hidden.
• 3:44
  On the donkey, while his students are urged him to keep
• 3:47
  it. There are locations given you a
• 3:48
  diamond, it's clearly Divine Providence, you're rich, he said
• 3:52
  that this time it belongs to the Arab.
• 3:54
  He sold me a donkey, didn't tell me an arrogance, I'll me a
• 3:56
  diamond with a donkey. When you returned it, the are
• 4:03
  appraised, the god of the Jews. This is the importance of this
• 4:08
  concept is demonstrated by passage in the gemara that
• 4:10
  speaks of the way, people will describe an observant Jew, who
• 4:13
  is ethical and business. How wonderful our his parents
• 4:16
  and teachers. Who taught such a person's Hora.
• 4:18
  How great is his God? Somebody who is unethical and
• 4:22
  business. People will say how sad it is.
• 4:27
  Such a child is who he is or bad people he has learnt from So,
• 4:32
  beyond all the different things in business ethics.
• 4:34
  Now, it would seem to be something that does is just
• 4:37
  between a person. And another person, really all
• 4:41
  these laws, our relationship with happy people, and our
• 4:44
  relationship with Hashem. And the way that that
• 4:46
  relationship is experienced just between ourselves, but on a
• 4:50
  wider scale, it's always at the Forefront, always in the center
• 4:55
  of everything that we need to contemplate.
• 4:58
  Have a very lovely day.
