The Prozbul (Hebrew: פרוזבול, borrowed from Koine Greek: προσβολή) is a halachic mechanism allowing for the collection of debts against loans that have come due, and preventing their cancellation by the monetary Shmita process (The Lord's Release). The Prozbul was established in the waning years of the Second Temple of Jerusalem by Hillel the Elder.
