The Machon L’Choshen Mishpat (Machon) was organized to raise awareness, educate and provide related services in the field of Jewish business law.

Specifically, awareness and practice of Halacha in relation to business matters both domestically and in the office (e.g. finance, contracts, conveyance, dispute resolution) is practically non-existent or at best misunderstood.

The flagship program for the educational division is our ongoing learning groups in Chicago, Passaic, Lawrence, Flatbush and Kew Gardens. These communities all have weekly chaburos that learn topics of monetary halacha with source sheets and a Rosh Chabura who delivers a shiur on the material with a focus on practical real life scenarios.

The challenges of a modern and evolving environment call for assistance and guidance in all areas of Halacha. The Machon is committed to service those needs in areas of financial and commercial Law.

A wide range of services includes assistance on general Choshen Mishpat issues and other business concerns like Sabbath or Ribbis (interest).
