ACharging interest on a loan made to a fellow Israelite.
BEmploying a hired worker to labour in a vineyard for wages.
CSelling produce grown on land inherited from one's father.
DRecording a debt in writing before two named witnesses.
Explanation: Exodus 22:25 and Leviticus 25:36-37 forbid taking interest (neshek) from a fellow Israelite, and require that the poor be lent to freely. Hiring workers, selling one's own produce and documenting a debt are all lawful and normal in Jewish commerce.
