Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi. I am a young man, and there are several young men who owe me money, but they do not have land. Is there an issue if I make a Prozbul?
Answer
Hello and blessings. If the borrower does not have land and the lender wants to write a Prozbul, the lender or another person must transfer to the borrower any piece of land or an area of four cubits. The method of transfer is that one of the judges or another person gives the lender a handkerchief, and the lender lifts the handkerchief, thereby transferring the land to the borrower.
