A great summer read to learn about the Jewish take on returning items😁

Have you ever visited a new place on an outing or vacation and spotted a really cool toy that someone left behind? Should you take it home or keep it?

According to the Torah, if we find a lost ox or sheep, we must bring it back to its owner — and if we don’t know who the owner is, we have to keep the animal until it’s claimed. The same goes for other objects, including stuffed bunnies: “So shall you do with any lost article . . . you shall not ignore it” (Deuteronomy 22:3). It’s not enough simply to hold on to the object; you must keep it safe.

In Judaism, returning valued objects to their owner, rather than ignoring them or keeping them for yourself, is a mitzvah called hashavat aveida in Hebrew. Learn all about the Jewish value of returning lost objects on the PJ Library website (just search "objects").
