Takkanot For The Sake of Peace, Order and Fair Business
The more the Jews came in contact with the Romans and the Persians, the more they were obliged to mitigate the black-letter law, and to introduce ordinances of the class characterized as necessary (a) "for the preservation of the order of the world," or (b) "for the sake of peace."
The regulations of this type, like those already mentioned, date from the mishnaic period, and were promulgated for the sake of morality. In addition, there were other takkanot designed (c) to facilitate repentance and (d) to contribute to "the interests of the market" or of business.
