Ruling: Pl is correct that his sale of comp was not fictitious, and at the time of the agreement with def, he intended that cont would receive practical control quickly. However, the sale did not go through as planned, as transfer of shares from pl to cont and control of comp’s bank account were delayed by a year because cont did not pay according to schedule. We do not accept pl’s contention that this control, which included depositing and writing checks, was only a formality. Therefore, the problem of a conflict of interest, when one is, in effect, supervising his own company’s work, is a serious one. Therefore, def’s agreement to pl’s role was based on misrepresentation, and pl does not deserve the balance of his salary that he has demanded, even though there is not proof that he did not visit the building site as much as he was required.
Regarding the choice of comp to do the work, it is clear that pl was significantly involved. However, it was not proved that the choice of comp was not a good one, as their price was lower than another estimate, and def did not prove that it was too high for the work involved. Only the price given for the anti-fire sprinkler system was excessive (400,000 NIS instead of 84,000 NIS offered by a different company). This is reason for pl to not receive his salary for organizing and supervising.

Ha'azinu PURSUIT is PERFECTION
p. Ha'azinu, Shabbat Shuva
Rav Kook deals with the question of the seemingly hopeless nature of Tshuva. For G-d Himself knows that He created us with free will, which inevitably means we will sometimes make mistakes and choose wrong. This can easily be frustrating, freezing us into inaction and ye'ush (loss of hope). If one sins even once, does he chalila have no choice but suicide?! Moreover, our Godly conscience demands justice, righteousness and perfection, but we all know this is impossible, so what's the solution? Rav Kook's innovative thinking, strongly based on chazal (our sages), offers an inciteful and important aspect to this topic, especially this time of year!
