Kommentar zu Mischlej 17:18
אָדָ֣ם חֲסַר־לֵ֭ב תּוֹקֵ֣עַ כָּ֑ף עֹרֵ֥ב עֲ֝רֻבָּ֗ה לִפְנֵ֥י רֵעֵֽהוּ׃
Ein Mann ohne Verständnis ist derjenige, der Hände schlägt und in der Gegenwart seines Nächsten Sicherheit wird.
Rashi on Proverbs
A person without sense clasps hands [This refers to] surety of money. Another explanation: He clasps with the wicked to go in their ways, while he is already a guarantor for his friend. He already accepted surety for the Holy One, blessed be He, to keep His commandments.
