Question

Hello to the esteemed Gaon Rabbis. I am a yeshiva student in Israel, and no one owes me money. I also have no savings accounts in my name [I am not an Israeli citizen], but I arranged a shidduch and have not yet been paid. If I am not paid by the eve of Rosh Hashanah, am I required to make a Prozbul?

Answer

Debts to a matchmaker are not annulled, but there is an opinion that they are considered as loans and are annulled, so it is advisable to make a Prozbul.
