Question

Shalom.
A teacher borrowed a school camera from the school office for personal use. She left it in the classroom overnight, and in the morning one of the children played with it and it broke. Is she liable?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.
A borrower is liable even for cases of oness (unavoidable circumstances); therefore, in this case the teacher is obligated to pay for the damage.
