DEUT1405 Do not take collateral from a widow. Hashem has compassion and mercy on His creations, and wants His holy nation, too, to behave with compassion and mercy. For this reason, He commands us that if we lend money to a widow, we do not take collateral from her. Her heart is broken over the loss of her husband and she is beset by worries. All the ways of the Torah are pleasant, and this precept is just one example.
