Leonard Grunstein Gives Lecture at Yeshivat Sha’alvim

Leonard Grunstein recently gave a lecture at Yeshivat Sha’alvim on religious law and interest. Opening remarks were given by Rav Yechezkel Yakovson and Rabbi Asher Weiss, respected teachers and thinkers within the community. Grunstein’s lecture revolved around his article titled, “Interest, Ribit and Riba,” which was published in The Banking Law Journal in 2013. The article analyzes Sharia finance, and proposes a way to reconcile capitalist and Islamic financial markets.
