Forgive The Loans
1) According to some ראשונים, the
Mitzvah of שמיטת כספים
(forgiving outstanding loans at the end of שמיטה) is a מצוה דאורייתא בזמן הזה אפילו בחו"ל.
2) Most ראשונים hold בזמן הזה it is only a מצוה
דרבנן.
3) Some who hold the מצוה is not applicable בזמן הזה
The בן איש חי פ' כי תבא recommends, after writing the פרזבול*
one should lend a friend a small amount of money.
When the friend comes (after ר"ה) to repay the loan he
should tell him משמט אני - I forgive the loan.
Thereby he will have fulfilled the מצוה of שמיטת כספים.
*פרזבול not valid for
future loans
