How many Jewish shareholders does a corporation or bank have to have in order for the prohibitions on lending or borrowing at interest to apply?
Is one Jewish shareholder sufficient, or does it have to be a majority, or all?
Could one non-Jewish shareholder exempt the corporation?
If the prohibition would apply, is it Biblical or Rabbinic?
This has practical implications, since many American banks probably have at least a few Jewish shareholders, and most Israeli banks have at least a few non-Jewish shareholders.
