BAALAV IMO DAMAGE IN A CASE OF BAALOV IMO COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS SHOMER SHEMASAR L'SHOMER WHEN IS SHEMIRAH TERMINATED? 

Introduction

The Torah makes a special exemption from the liabilities of a Shomer in cases of b'aalav imo, when the owner was working on behalf of the Shomer at the time he took possession. This exemption applies even to a Shomer who was negligent; however, if the Shomer gave over the item to another unauthorized person and it was damaged or lost, the Shomer will be responsible.

Points to Ponder

• For b'aalav imo to apply, when exactly must the owner be working for the Shomer, and what kinds of work must he perform? • Does b'aalav imo exempt a Shomer who inadvertently damaged the item himself? • At the end of a rental period, is the renter still liable for theft or loss until the item is returned? • Can a borrower or renter allow other people to use the item?
