Judaism and Debt
"We believe [this] is how Almighty God commands us to order our society: to help the poor, to reach out a hand to the needy - to give them hope, dignity and self-esteem. And to that end today, I repeat the Jewish commandment here, and say - in the Name of Almighty God - let the rich nations help the poor and needy nations. No one needs to starve, no one needs to be hungry, desperate and without hope. It is for man to organize the resources that God gives us. Let us declare a jubilee - and full stop to debt. Almighty God the creator of us all, places this responsibility on us. If we fail to give voice, we fail the moral & ethical teachings He has given us. We cry out - LET THERE BE A JUBILEE NOW."
