A new Mishna teaches that a slave who is sold outside of Israel to Jews, or inside of Eretz Yisroel, is emancipated. The Gemara tells us that this is proven by Torah texts.
It goes on to teach that one who borrows on the bases of that slave also emancipates that slave. The rabbis attempt to understand how such a transaction might have worked.
They speak about the exemption from tithing, and about the notion of "time" as a defining measure for a slave's move to another household.
We explore the deeper notions of morality slavery and modern issues regarding homosexuality and how we are to relate to others with differing worldviews, looking to the writings of the Klausenberger Rebbe.
