Repaying a Debt Before Yom Kippur
Question
When must debts be repaid: before Rosh Hashanah or before Yom Kippur?
Answer
Shalom u’vrachah,
Debts must be repaid immediately when they are taken.
The great severity regarding a person who has debts applies before Yom Kippur, because Yom Kippur does not atone for this.
