Q. I’m a student in a place were there isn’t much of a Jewish community and I have a few questions this year. Can a pruzbul be done on line or via a fax or email to the bais din?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you may e mail or fax a pruzbul statement to a court when in need. The Beis Din will in turn send you back an acknowledgment of receipt.

The statement to be sent is:
“I ________________hereby inform and turn over to you the court consisting of the following dayanim __________________________, _________________________, _______________, all debts owed to me, whether these debts were incurred by contract or not. The purpose of this act is that I may be able to collect them at any time I wish. I also gift a minimal amount of land to each debtor who does not own any land”
Today ____ day of Elul, 5775, here in _________________________.
