Ruling: Looking at the contract, there is significant ambiguity in regard to some of the disputes. Par. 3.4 states that if the client stops the process after there is a mortgage proposal, he must pay in full. This identifies the mortgage proposal as a central element, although it does not address our exact case. In general, when there is doubt about what is included in a contract, the one who wants to receive money based on the contract is not able to do so (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 42). However, this is based on the rule of hamotzi mechavero alav hareaya (proof is needed to extract payment), so that in a case like this where the beneficiary of the contract already received payment, he does not have to return it out of doubt (Rama, CM 42:8).
Regarding whether def is required to go to the bank instead of the client, doing so is written as something that def may do but it is not written as a specific obligation. This can imply that the matter is somewhat at def’s discretion.
If we consider both issues together, we see that def did the legwork with Bank 1, which fits with his understanding that before having done his job, he should be involved in an extensive manner. After the mortgage proposal was received, but it became unusable, def just helped beyond the letter of the law to enable pl to get a mortgage in any case. Although pl blamed def for not making them aware that there was a deadline for presenting the appraisal, the proposal has a date on it states for how long it is binding, and def presented two WhatsApp messages in which he urged pl to finish the paperwork before it was too late.
Therefore, it appears very likely that def did as much as was required of him, and pl is not entitled to get a refund.

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.
