- 0:02And OK, all right, good morning. What's the name?
- 0:13Nissim Benima. They go by the starting to say
- 0:20the mother. OK, I'm out with he sold us of
- 0:29money. What?
- 0:29How do you understand the value of money?
- 0:31So hamalvas covero Alematbeya, someone who lends money in the
- 0:37scholar, let's say shekels. That's a dollars Josefa al
- 0:42Mishkalo, right? They were talking about metal
- 0:43coins. They used to be they had the
- 0:46dinner and they had a metal coin and they added a little bit more
- 0:49silver into the into the coin. So even Hoosulu haperos Mahmas
- 0:57if because of that, the price of used to be 4 saw of wheat was
- 1:09worth was worth 1 dinner. Let's say this one be let's say
- 1:14it's a dinner Now it's 5 now you know now now it's 5 for dinner.
- 1:21Mach masato safis minaculo sheer hato safis.
- 1:27He has to take when he pays him back, he has to you know only
- 1:30pay him for four He has to he has to he has to make a Cashman
- 1:36and take off the share of the Cephas of silver Fila Josefo
- 1:41love kosher. Even if they added just a little
- 1:43bit more still he still has to do he still has to do it being
- 1:50low. However, if the price of payers
- 1:54didn't go down Machmesel Josephus in a vernacular
- 1:58Illinois signal up there, then the question the question like
- 2:02Mara seems to discuss is how do you define the value of a coin?
- 2:07What's the value of money of a of a currency based on is it
- 2:11based on what we can buy or is it something which is which is
- 2:16something which is Kavua batsman.
- 2:18Then the the the the value of the coin is what it Yeah,
- 2:24though. Well, that's not as intrinsic.
- 2:27It's that how do you view how do you view what's the value of a
- 2:30coin? Is it based on what the buying
- 2:32power it can buy or is it or is a bit with the buying power
- 2:36based on the coin? So yeah, no, it's not it's not
- 2:46how much because how do you define what the metals were?
- 2:48Is money is money something as a coin, a currency, something like
- 2:54let's say it's it's not related to anything like they set the
- 2:58value of the coin. And from that we know how, you
- 3:00know that we view how much you can buy.
- 3:02That's you know, it's lotion like Murray, it's about Baker or
- 3:06payer seeker. What's what's the what's how do
- 3:09you define what the icker is? So here it's face value, you
- 3:12say, versus the buying value. Yeah, I guess you could say
- 3:17yeah, something like that face value against the you know, so
- 3:21the point over here. So if yeah, yes, we'll address
- 3:25inflation and things like that. Yeah, if who's the payers Mahmas
- 3:29at the surface. So if again, going back in a
- 3:30second, if the payers, you know, you have to you know, you can
- 3:34you have to buy more, you know, it it you can buy less, you
- 3:37know, payers, you know, for whatever.
- 3:39Like you know, something that when they devalue a coin, like
- 3:41you know, the like I think you know the you know, you know, you
- 3:45can buy like like 1,000,000 pesos to get you know, whatever
- 3:48Minaka those sheer had to suffice, I feel.
- 3:51Then you take out the share to sevens a few of a seafood of
- 3:54culture who he knows who mark was set to sevens if nothing
- 3:57changed any Manoculo. You don't you don't have to take
- 4:01off that money. You just give him the coin back
- 4:06and and it's fine. That's when they added to the
- 4:16coin. They added a little more silver
- 4:19until the 5th because they explain is that every back then,
- 4:25at least in every coin, you know, they were they weren't
- 4:28able to make exactly the same weight.
- 4:30You know, when they minted the coin is a little bit more this
- 4:33one a little bit more, a little bit less within a certain share
- 4:35of of up to a fifth people who didn't care about it.
- 4:38So therefore, therefore it was it was it was OK, Keep going.
- 4:43Shyami Chicago dial it. So hey, the yeah, I mean they
- 4:51used to this coin used to weigh dollar whatever whatever the
- 4:56measurement is, and now they added a little more silver in so
- 5:00now it's hay, but if they added a lot more, it's considered and
- 5:12he gives it back. It's ribious.
- 5:14I will be shalow. Who's the pairs, even though the
- 5:18the price of fruit, the price of of produce didn't didn't, didn't
- 5:24go down because that's considered already an actual to
- 5:26surface. But in the Malva Almatya or so
- 5:30too, the same idea. If they went ahead and they and
- 5:35they shaved off and made the weight less so then the the low
- 5:39just Beyoncé is mitzvah of paying back.
- 5:42He has to pay back a little bit more and that's not what it is
- 5:46now there is there is a mahogas between the it's the Maharashtam
- 5:52and the so the Maharana frame about like you said about the
- 5:58about inflation that that is there idea of Yokra Bazaal Malt
- 6:04Bay is the idea. This is the basic idea and
- 6:06although if you have to go ahead and if if not that they added
- 6:11weight to it, but let's say that they they do, you know, they
- 6:15inflated or they devalued it and you know that you know.
- 6:19So then do you have to make a freshman and pay that back?
- 6:23The marriage thumb holds. You have to go ahead and you
- 6:25have to you have to make a freshman and you have to pay
- 6:28that back. Whereas the Mac and the Fry
- 6:30holds other Mac and the fry holds.
- 6:32You don't have to you don't have to.
- 6:34You know, the coin is a coin here.
- 6:36It goes up and down. This is the set value of the
- 6:40coin. If they added, you know, metal
- 6:41to it, fine. That's something that's the
- 6:42show. But they didn't add metal to it.
- 6:44They just you know, the value of the you know, the value of the
- 6:47of the of the money goes up and goes down.
- 6:50So nothing the frame says it doesn't make a difference.
- 6:54You have to. You just pay the coin back and
- 6:56your and your and you're and you're fine.
- 7:13No, no, no means I borrow, I borrow a dollar, you pay me back
- 7:18in dollars. And in the meantime, and so OK,
- 7:21that's that's in the meantime, the dollar, you know, I guess in
- 7:26relation to the dollar goes they they, they put more dollars or
- 7:31something like that, then inflation goes up, you know, so,
- 7:34so the question is, do you have to pay back?
- 7:37Do you have to pay back the what, what the the rate?
- 7:39Do you have to Mahesh bit in inflation?
- 7:41And now this dollar is worth is worth less than what it was when
- 7:46he took, you know, five years ago when he took the loan.
- 7:48It's worth less. Do you have to keep that Mahesh
- 7:51bit? So that's the mahogis between
- 7:53the mahogas of running the marriage Dom and the Mahanen
- 7:56frame into all the buyers. But yeah, but that's that's
- 8:02basically that's, you know, I think, I think we're, you know,
- 8:04I think, you know, in general, if it comes to a shy love, I
- 8:08think we're making like, I think we go like the makanet fryer.
- 8:10I think if I'm paying back a loan, I don't think you have to
- 8:13make a freshman. I think that's a general
- 8:16meaning. But you know, but because you
- 8:20buy borrowed dollars, I'm paying back dollars.
- 8:22It's also nagata like, like Suba and things, you know, they, he
- 8:27got married, you know, for, you know, 30 years ago.
- 8:30They and you know, they put the money in dollars, dollars worth
- 8:34X and the, the shekel, whatever. And nowadays it's worth, it's
- 8:39worth a lot more, worth a lot less.
- 8:41So then what do you we know what, when, what do you pay the
- 8:44Suba based on? There's different applications
- 8:46to this, to this din. You know, it also gets into, you
- 8:52know, it gets into the Shiloh. I delve into it a lot.
- 8:55But here in this country, they, you know, they, they, they do
- 8:58loans, you know, tied to the tied to the madah, tied to
- 9:01inflation, which apparently most countries don't do that.
- 9:06And someone told me I have to banker once I said, what's the
- 9:10job? He said it's Yiddish, a cop.
- 9:12They figured out how to go ahead and make money, even if you
- 9:16don't have to figure out a way not to lose money, you know,
- 9:19whatever. So that's also how you
- 9:22understand that you know, is that is that is that is that
- 9:25something you look at or not depends on that mahogas so that
- 9:30you know, that's so over here, you know.
- 9:34So what you know, that's one of the gay la Maisa, but I'll go
- 9:37Panim if it's an actual to Cephas in the actual in the
- 9:41actual, you know, coins. That's the Sukhanar, right,
- 9:54Yeah, because because he's he has to pay back.
- 9:58It's not he right, right. It's not because he right,
- 10:01because he has to he has to pay. He has to pay back.
- 10:04Well, that's right. Yeah.
- 10:08I don't know. I don't know.
- 10:10I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:18It's a pen. You know, whatever the question
- 10:27is. What about in the case where
- 10:29they were the coin like they had here and there and there it's as
- 10:33well, you know, was it 4050 years or whatever it was?
- 10:36They had liras and then they were moved out to the lira and
- 10:40they made a shekel and a new shekel.
- 10:43Whatever it was. It's like I know a story of
- 10:45someone they they got a, they got a mortgage.
- 10:48It was shortly before in liras. It was right before they, you
- 10:52know, right before the, they, they devalued it.
- 10:55And so they went to the bank and the bankers were laughing
- 10:58because in the end they only have to pay like they came out
- 11:02nothing for the, for his, for his mortgage, but Alpha Pani.
- 11:09And so let's say it was, it was, it was Nisalah.
- 11:11So that's a whole discussion about what you have to pay back
- 11:14and who's or pedos, Mathasamat Baya Khadasha and if they minted
- 11:20a new coin and the currency and the payers because of that, you
- 11:26know, they, they, they go down in price.
- 11:28So see for Olaha and they didn't add the you know, they didn't,
- 11:32they didn't make raise the prices or anything notes in
- 11:34them. Then you just have to pay him.
- 11:38You just have to, you know, pay him and you're in the clear.
- 11:43Now. If it changed the value of
- 11:45payers and suddenly everything was worth a different amount.
- 11:48So then you have to fetch with it.
- 11:49But they just changed the name of the coin lira to shekel and
- 11:53then you know, everything would have stayed the same.
- 11:55So then then then you don't have to worry about it if if it
- 12:03doesn't, if the if the relative value doesn't change to other
- 12:07things. If it does, then you have to no,
- 12:11it's his penis Hoselu. If if he can't buy, he used to
- 12:15be able to buy, you know, 5 apples for this lira.
- 12:18Now you can only buy 2 and that's the difference.
- 12:21But if he had the same thing, you can just buy 5 apples.
- 12:23It just changed the name. So it doesn't make a just
- 12:25because the guy says no, I don't want the lira.
- 12:27It doesn't make a difference. You can pay him pay him in
- 12:29shekels or you know, also they can still question here if they
- 12:33say here and most in America doesn't happen.
- 12:35But here they changed bills here and there at a certain point
- 12:39they don't let you use the old bills.
- 12:42Question is, is that like a 50? They changed to 50.
- 12:45I think I still have an old, old 50.
- 12:47You know, you have to go to Bank of Sero.
- 12:48That's exchange of the question is, is that, you know, if you
- 12:53can you give that money back or not?
- 12:55You know, it'll be the same similar type of Shiloh.
- 12:59It's more Khushchev, but it's also to get to Rivas.
- 13:02Also, my bear had actually done it with Stifel in Pursue Komesh.
- 13:06Let's say they added they made a new coin and they added added
- 13:10miss added silver into it. And you don't know if it's more
- 13:13or less. You don't have a scale.
- 13:14So I'm here now only of the you can you can rely on the on the
- 13:20you know, on the economists, on the on the rates.
- 13:23They put out that that you can rely on the all the rates and
- 13:27the currencies and things or whatever.
- 13:28You can rely on that the bikini and seeking the fituman.
- 13:33They're just telling you the rates and you can rely on the
- 13:35fact and rely on this factor. There no mondos or yeah, call us
- 13:39a muni malka or you have the you know, the banks you can rely on
- 13:43what they say the the rates are the in Gaza, Hamela shikomi Shi
- 13:47Yifra, Yifra Berhadasha. Let's say this is this is just
- 13:52you know, in the markets they added, they had a coin and they
- 13:55had and it was a silver coin. All the markets, the
- 13:58businessman, whatever they they added a little bit, you know the
- 14:01banks added a bit of silver into it or changed it whatever.
- 14:04However, if it's a law and the president of the country and
- 14:07they made a law, you have to use the numat baya Hokharak, who's
- 14:11there Samela, the Dino Michael Sadina.
- 14:12It doesn't make a difference if the payers for who's or not.
- 14:16If the if the if the government said OK, this is the new
- 14:21currency, this is what you have to use.
- 14:22So then you pay him back in the new currency.
- 14:25The aim is that mission ribbits. Let me show him it's a gazzo.
- 14:28There's no ribbits or gazzo. I'm pushing mission.
- 14:31So my Dollard, because we say the Dina, the Mukul Sadina that
- 14:36so the question the Shah has I in in in, you know, Hoshimishva,
- 14:41there's a discussion as I'm focusing on it was difficult.
- 14:43Sadina, does it apply to jet to general like all general issues,
- 14:47or does it just apply to things which are which concern the
- 14:51government, like taxes and and and and and and price of land
- 14:57and things like that? Or were they able to just take
- 14:59over land things like that? Or does it apply to to other
- 15:03things as well? So the Shah says that he brings
- 15:08brings as well safer Truman who say that that that of course it
- 15:13you know, this thing it applied because money is also it's just
- 15:18it's just similar to idea of Karka of the money is a basic
- 15:22currency is a basic, you know, basic thing is Simon of a
- 15:26government, Simon of you know, the you know, the economy.
- 15:31So therefore it is whether people if people start using the
- 15:34new coin that supports the government.
- 15:36So therefore that is a basic that's a basic right of the king
- 15:40or right of the government. So you yes, you follow this
- 15:43Adidas even going to that cheetah, the Dina law who said
- 15:46doesn't apply by by you know other things.
- 15:53You know shaman again into what other things are so therefore,
- 15:59therefore it would still apply. It would still apply over here.
- 16:02All right, Kusamakhvov, Amalva, Escavero, some of the lenses
- 16:12then lens someone else's money, Loyasa Malaka.
- 16:14But after it, he can't just take his, the guys have it.
- 16:18And do Malaka feel who buckle? Even if he's like sitting, you
- 16:22know, sitting on his phone or whatever nowadays reading a
- 16:26book, whatever he's doing, he can't just take him and make him
- 16:29work. So well, why could he in the 1st
- 16:31place? So like where it says, because
- 16:34someone who's not marvelous, someone who's not a marvel can,
- 16:37if you see someone's evidence sitting around, you know, both
- 16:41told that he it's, it's important that the the the
- 16:44funding don't get, you know, don't get lazy, so to speak, and
- 16:48just sit around because, you know, because it creates they
- 16:51have to do whatever jobs are supposed to do, even if the jobs
- 16:55aren't like major labour, but they have to be, you know, do
- 16:59what they need to do. So he's allowed to for the good
- 17:04of the although he's allowed to force the avid to go ahead and
- 17:08wash his floors. I don't know.
- 17:09Whatever it is, it's a it's a good thing.
- 17:13So, but if he's a Malvet, then then it's awesome for him to do
- 17:16that because it's because then he's getting extra Hana from the
- 17:20loyvid. It's it's it's massacre.
- 17:23It's whatever it is, though, Yidor, even though, even though
- 17:26it's something he would have done anyway, the shock rings
- 17:29here. So even if something a person
- 17:31would do anyway, he's a Gabi and a shul and he would go ahead,
- 17:35but he, he lent this guy money and, and it's very clear that if
- 17:42he just has a list, there's a cycle 5.
- 17:44It's very clear the next, you know, the next week he gives him
- 17:47Shishi, he gives him something that just for Hestia, obviously
- 17:50it's, it's something which he's having him, you know, extra or,
- 17:55or something like that. And you know, even though the
- 17:58guy by thinks, you know, that he would give it to him anyway
- 18:01because why not, since it's something which is public and
- 18:04people might think it's because he lent him money as many people
- 18:07knew about the people don't know about the loan.
- 18:08Who cares As many people knew that he lent him money and then
- 18:11he's calling him up. So then it's also an issue below
- 18:17Yidor Berhatsero Kridam and he can't tell here, stay in my
- 18:21house, you know, for free. Below yistor made of apachos,
- 18:26nor can he, you know, give a give a discount if he's renting
- 18:29Lafila bechozzer de Lochaimer la Agra even in a in a hot Sir.
- 18:34That's not that's not that you don't usually rent out Pirosheno
- 18:40Medici stalker right. They said stay in there for
- 18:43free. It's it's what what a little
- 18:46chimer la Agra is someplace he doesn't he doesn't rent.
- 18:49It's not some say it means it's not only he can't rent it out
- 18:52right now and some say but he you know, if he could, then it
- 18:55doesn't apply. Some say he's just not renting
- 18:56it out. Now you know, it's not it's his
- 18:59own house. He's not renting his own house
- 19:00out If a guy for the little oven to make or you're not talking
- 19:04about someone who's looking for a hotel or you know, or he's a
- 19:08renter. He has his own house.
- 19:10He just says he's coming for shop and just stay in my house
- 19:12for shops. The Indar boat far, but if he's
- 19:16already living there and he lends him money, keeping the
- 19:18Hudson, the little Carmela Agra, since the Hudson, which is not,
- 19:23you know, something. Also, look, someone would go
- 19:26ahead and just squat, so to speak, in someone's property,
- 19:29which is not kind of Agra, right?
- 19:31I go on a nice farm on the field and the barn.
- 19:34I don't know whatever it is, he doesn't, he doesn't have to pay
- 19:37money. He's not being Mahasir Zen.
- 19:41Then there's a little hustler. He's not being Mahasir the
- 19:44person any money so do over here.
- 19:47It's not you know if it's it's so we said by Ribis, even though
- 19:51it's he's not being Bahasa her money and he's not whatever, but
- 19:55I'll component for Ribis. It would be awesome in dark, but
- 19:58he's already living there human. The hotel of Carmela Agra ain't.
- 20:03He doesn't have to pay, he still doesn't have to pay him anything
- 20:05if he loves to see the shamayim, even though since the shamayim
- 20:09he doesn't have to pay him anything if he'll grab her the
- 20:12oven, the magar, and even if he usually rents out.
- 20:14So therefore he's getting hung off from the fact that he's
- 20:17sleeping in the guy's barn or he's staying.
- 20:20You know, usually he rents out for Shabbos, but they let OK,
- 20:23come stay stay in my house. Then he's parked or roll around
- 20:29bomb a fellow in governor of in the Magar, even as someone who
- 20:33doesn't usually rent have the evac ribis because the mice that
- 20:37he's getting he's getting the mouse is getting extra.
- 20:40It's evac ribis. It's arful hacks here.
- 20:43If he then the vac ribis, he has to be mapped 0.
- 20:47He'll also see the shamani. He has to be maxing the money.
- 20:49So therefore he would have to pay him for the top three.
- 20:52He'd have to pay him for for the time that he's staying there.
- 20:57But because of the kaimura Agra hobby of Akrabis or a culture
- 21:01which should be rented out adequate cool yamas of Akrabis.
- 21:06Because if a person stays there without someone's veshos and
- 21:12that's Zen and it is a Hulser Zen and it is a Hulser.
- 21:16But if he's then there, if the guy is then there from from, you
- 21:21know, from someone else's property, it's the dinner for
- 21:23sure, Mishpa. If someone's if someone gets
- 21:26Hana out of someone's someone else's property, then then he's
- 21:31hired to pay him. It doesn't make a difference
- 21:33Swap. He can't just, you know, squat.
- 21:35He can't just like you know, you know, sneak into someone's.
- 21:37You know, someone's a hotel, sneak into a hotel room and stay
- 21:41there. You know, without, you know, he
- 21:44would have to pay him afterwards because of the denim Nana and
- 21:49some, you know, some say Koshikane, if he's some say he
- 21:53has to be that he's also has to him, it has to be someone stays
- 21:56in someone's house and says that his fact that he stays there
- 21:59makes it a little bit dirtier. So therefore that's a little
