Iska Templates

Consulting with a Rav is always recommended

Prominent Rabbonim and Poskim reviewed the Ribbis Awareness Iska Templates.

However, due to the complexity of Hilchos Ribbis, it is still advised to have a Rav review your document to ensure that no mistakes have been made, and the instructions where understood and followed properly.

Only use if you are sure you choose the correct template, as even a small factor may change the Halacha.
