[Avodah] Torah and Slavery

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck]

R' Saul Mashbaum:
*Although it seems obvious to us that being a salaried employee is a
*straightforward and sensible way to make a living, it is regarded with some
*suspicion in classical Jewish sources. This is because of the shibud the
*worker has to his employer, which borders on slavery (no jokes please). The
*longer the worker contracted for, the more the practice was frowned upon.
