Toledo Blade
Toledo, OH — Is it OK to sublet your apartment for more than you pay in rent, profiting by using someone else’s property? What about business workers who travel on company time using airline tickets paid for by the company? Do they own the tickets they receive for frequent-flier miles, or do the freebies belong to their company?
It might be the American way to make a quick buck or to cash in on fringe benefits, but it’s not necessarily the right thing to do under Jewish law.
“You Be the Judge,” a new six-night course that will be offered by the Jewish Learning Institute beginning Wednesday, explores real-life cases brought before the Beit Din, or court system of Jewish law.
