Is a guarantor exempt if he agreed only because the borrower said he would have the money to repay?

This Torah study examines the question: Is a guarantor exempt if he agreed only because the borrower said he would have the money to repay? The canonical Hebrew discussion develops the issue through the weekly Torah portion and the sources cited there, preserving the distinctions, tensions and practical implications that belong to the source itself. This localized layer is designed for study and discovery; it does not add a new halakhic, medical, legal, historical or empirical ruling beyond the canonical Hebrew source.
