Ruling: Witness 1 was the representative of the yishuv for interactions with obd. He testified that obd did not succeed in getting the price it expected from consumers, and so they did not have money to keep their commitments to the farmers. While some farmers abandoned the arrangement earlier, that was a risky step as prices were lower than expected across the board. An expert hired by beit din explained how the circumstances left def little choice other than to switch to heter mechira earlier; the main reason they did not was def’s religious principles.
The contract between pl and def can only be read as an investment, not a loan. This is clear from the language and the fact that pl took an expensive loan from the bank to finance it; this cannot be explained by good intentions alone. An investment is not guaranteed like a loan.
Regarding agreeing to give the produce for less than had been discussed, the Shulchan Aruch (Choshen Mishpat 185:1) says that an agent may not sell at a lower price than the owner agreed, even if it is a fair price. However, this case is different because: 1. Def did not promise pl they would sell peppers at a specific price; they just shared that expectation. 2. Pl is not an owner but an investor in def’s operation. 3. Def has more expertise than pl, and therefore they have authority to act according to their best judgment. Therefore, selling at a lower price was not necessarily negligence.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.
