Study Notes

Shomer: Definition and Types

  • Shomer means "watchman" or "guardian" in Hebrew
  • There are four types of Shomrim:
    • Shomer Chinam (unpaid guardian)
    • Shomer Sachar (paid guardian)
    • Shoel (borrower)
    • Socher (renter)

Responsibilities of Shomrim

  • A Shomer Chinam is responsible for taking care of something that was given to them for safekeeping, and they are not paid for their services
  • A paid guardian (Shomer Sachar) has the added responsibility of taking an oath when there is a dispute over the item
  • A Shoel (borrower) has the added responsibility of returning the item in the same condition it was in when they borrowed it
  • A Socher (renter) is responsible for paying for the use of the item they rented

Oath and Waived Responsibility

  • A Shomer has to make an oath when there is a dispute over the item and they claim it was lost or stolen
  • The point of the oath is to attest to the Shomer's honesty and innocence
  • The responsibility of a Shoel is waived if the item is damaged or lost due to circumstances beyond their control
