Ruling: Reduction in salary – Pl claims he never agreed to the reduction but was just informed about it and continued to work out of a sense of responsibility to the students in his program and because he could not return to his old job. Def claims that at the meeting, people were given the choice between a reduction and having their programs cut, which was a necessity under the sudden need for austerity. First of all, since pl had an open-ended contract, this is not binding in the educational field for more than a year, so that when pl continued beyond a year without getting a promise to restore the full salary, he accepted the reduction. Furthermore, since under the situation of duress that arose, pl had the right to close the programs and not pay salary, they were exempt for paying the former, full salary. Finally, the fact that pl regularly complained about the other claims and not this one is a sign that he was mochel this reduction.
D’mei havra’ah – the number of recreational days a worker is entitled to depends on the degree of his employment. Until 2011, pl’s pay stub referred to him as having a 100% (full-time) job. From then on, he was referred to as 65% (120 monthly hours). According to pl, in the field of education, 120 hours is a full-time job. Beit din does not accept that pl needs to have the same conditions of an employee of the educational system, as he is not such a worker. It is also not clear if the 120 hours include preparation time (which it would not for a regular teacher). Based on the lack of clarity, we will rule based on compromise that for pl’s first two years, he will be credited for having worked a 76% position and for the third year, 65% (as was written that year in his stub). That entitles him to seventeen recreational days during the three years, which, according to the relevant employment bureau, is redeemable for 4,475 NIS.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
