Ruling: We have dealt with reduction in salary, d’mei havra’ah, and loss of pension benefits.
A share in fundraising income: According to pl, when he started working for def, it was discussed that he would travel to fundraise for them, which he did sporadically, but the terms were not set. When the financial crisis arose, pl used family connections, in not simple ways, to put together a list of contacts in Canada, and then he traveled to solicit from them in 5770. Pl claims that he was promised 20% of the sum raised to make up for his salary reduction. In 5771, def wrote to pl that despite reservations, they would pay pl 22,864 NIS that he asked for in this matter in 20 payments. Pl now says that while he asked then for the share to make up for his reduction in salary, he now asks for it additionally. Def responds that when hired, it was decided that when pl would travel for fundraising, he would get $1,000 for room and board. Def admits to having agreed to giving a percentage for the trip in 5770 but claims that this was done under pl’s pressure at the time of def’s need.
The idea of paying for room and board is found in a draft of a contract (no contract was signed), which implies that this was the only financial compensation discussed. However, just as we said that the financial crisis enabled def to change some agreements due to new circumstances, so too pl was allowed to demand new arrangements for new situations, e.g., a pay reduction. Def’s claim that they agreed under duress is to be rejected, because it is still considered agreeing. We do not have to deal with the question of whether pl could receive a percentage of fundraising and also have his salary reduction undone because we have already rejected pl’s claim to restore his original salary.
A month after demanding 22,848 NIS, pl wrote that he had miscalculated and that he deserves 27,795 NIS, to which def demanded a detailed calculation. This implies that only on the new increased amount did pl have to give an exact accounting. Since pl is now only requesting the smaller amount, he does not have to provide that detail and thus will get the 22,848 NIS.

Ein Aya Armies Still Necessary for Balance & the War Against Wars

Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
