shazam heter iska with all the banks in Israel.
Banking is a business and a mighty profitable one also, ask the Rothschilds who were the first moneylender family in Europe.

Could someone please explain to us chutzies how one can take out these loans, given they are charging interest (ribbis)? Is there a Heter Iska with the bank?

Homebody & truth
Being in debt and having debts is part of living. Our expenses rise and our income plummets, in the USofA and in Israel. Try living on social security with no pension, we will be hearing of increased debts in the time to come. We should start thinking of a solution since fundraising wll not be the answere.

YW, take a chill please. As far as these loans go, while I understand the need for it, it is so unfortunate that people need to take out loans to make Pesach, it’s sad. How can one enjoy the holiday, knowing he is now in debt from it.? Unfortunately, for many of our brothers in Israel, being in debt has become a way of life.
