Halacha, Ethics, and Financial Law
Good evening!
1- On the one hand, you say that the Torah does not establish ethics, and even in its ethical laws, its purpose is not ethics but religion. And on the other hand, you say that we are obligated to ethics and the laws of money that precede the Torah, according to the words of the Harash. And to me, the Rabbi himself said that even when the Torah speaks of ethics, its intention is religious. And so how is it possible that we are obligated to laws of reason for which the Torah itself defined religious commandments?
2- How is it possible that there is “no workman, no pleasure” also regarding legal obligations (such as debt), when financial laws precede the Torah?
Thank you very much!

1- The Gersh”sh connects ethics with financial laws, by stating that the reason for committing to financial laws is itself the reason that requires committing to the Torah, that is, ethics!
2- The Gamma’ in return, it ruled that a debt of interest will not be incurred because it is forbidden and a slave is not a slave, and my question is, does a financial law expire before the prohibition?
1. You ignored the end of my answer 1. And beyond that, my entire answer there
2. The Torah can displace the law that preceded it and can also add to it without displacing it. Certainly in a matter that is based on social-legal agreement, and there is no limit on agreements that follow the giving of the Torah. A law does not have to be prior to it to be binding.
