Gemach (Hebrew: גמ"ח, plural, גמחים‎, gemachim, an abbreviation for גמילות חסדים‎, gemilut chasadim, "acts of kindness") is a Jewish free-loan fund that subscribes to both the positive Torah commandment of lending money and the Torah prohibition against charging interest on a personal loan to a fellow Jew. Unlike bank loans, gemach loans are interest-free, and are often set up with easy repayment terms.

  • Gemach (hebreiska: גמ"ח, plural, גמחים, gemachim, en omskrivning för גמילות חסדים, gemilut chasadim, "vänlig handling") är en judisk tradition med räntefria lån. Traditionen grundar sig på Torahns förbud mot ränta. För att återbetalningen skall garanteras är det vanligt att två extra personer skriver under lånekontraktet, förutom låntagaren själv. Om låntagaren skulle misslyckas med att betala tillbaka, är det dessa personer som långivaren kan vända sig till. Gemach-systemet har även stöd i det rabbinska rättssystemet. (sv)

  • Gemach (Hebrew: גמ"ח, plural, גמחים‎, gemachim, an abbreviation for גמילות חסדים‎, gemilut chasadim, "acts of kindness") is a Jewish free-loan fund that subscribes to both the positive Torah commandment of lending money and the Torah prohibition against charging interest on a personal loan to a fellow Jew. Unlike bank loans, gemach loans are interest-free, and are often set up with easy repayment terms. Gemachs operate in most Jewish communities. The traditional gemach concept — that of a money-lending fund — extends loans on a short- or long-term basis for any need, including emergency loans, medical expenses, wedding expenses, etc. However, many people have expanded the concept of gemachs to include free loans of household items, clothing, books, equipment, services and advice. Gemachs may be operated both on a communal basis (such as by treasurers of community funds) and an internal basis (such as by businesses, organizations, schools and families). The ideal of contributing to or forming one's own gemach was popularized by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim), who addressed many halachic questions about the practice and lauded its spiritual benefits in his landmark book, Ahavat Chesed ("Loving Kindness").

  • Ghemach (in ebraico: גמ"ח ?, plur., גמחים, ghemachim, abbreviazione di גמילות חסדים, ghemilut chassadim, "atti di bontà") è un fondo ebraico di finanziamento libero senza interessi che segue il comandamento positivo della Torah di prestare denaro e il divieto di ricarica di interessi su un prestito. A differenza dei prestiti bancari, i prestiti ghemach sono senza tasso d'interesse e spesso concessi con notevoli facilitazioni di restituzione. Il ghemach sono attivi nella maggioranza delle comunità ebraiche. Il concetto tradizionale di ghemach — cioè quello di fondo finalizzato al prestito — accorda prestiti a breve o lungo termine per ogni esigenza, compresi i prestiti di emergenza, le spese mediche, spese per matrimoni, ecc. Tuttavia spesso si amplia il concetto di ghemach a comprendere prestiti senza tasso d'interesse per articoli casalinghi, abbigliamento, libri, attrezzature, servizi e consulenza. Il ghemach possone venir gestiti su base comunitaria (dai tesorieri dei fondi comunitari) e/o su base interna (ad esempio da imprese, organizzazioni, scuole e famiglie). L'ideale di contribuire a formare un proprio ghemach fu reso popolare da Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan (il Chofetz Chaim), che trattò molte questioni halachiche ("Legge ebraica") su tale pratica ed ebbe a lodarne i benefici spirituali nel suo libro più famoso, Ahavas Chesed ("Gentilezza amorevole").
