Question
Is it permissible to reserve a seat in the yeshiva for a friend? P.S. Many seats in the yeshiva are reserved for others. Please provide a source, thank you.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The response of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita:
Everything depends on the decision of the yeshiva administration. The act of reserving itself is not an acquisition and does not relate to the issue of seizing a place for a creditor when it harms others (Bava Metzia 10) in Tosafot and Ramban there and Choshen Mishpat, siman 105
