Ruling: The first issue to decide is whether sel/pl were bound by sel’s agreement to the plans. The agreement was not to transfer rights to an object (including property) because the land would remain owned by sel. Rather, it was an agreement to do something or act in a certain way (kinyan devarim), which is not binding according to Halacha (see Bava Batra 3a). On the other hand, some poskim posit that an action that is widely accepted in society to obligate oneself (situmta) is binding even for kinyan devarim, and therefore we might have wanted to examine whether signing building plans falls under that category. However, in this case, it does not make a difference because sel only agreed to building in location A, which has been rejected by the planning board. Certainly, every location has its plusses and minuses, and therefore agreement to one place is not a carte blanche.
Regarding payment for using pl’s land, one cannot deny pl’s rights by arguing that he does not lose overall by the building, because in some ways he does lose. Nevertheless, beit din agrees with def that the appraisal that pl presented is illogical. First of all, land that is slated for a garden does not cost 45,000 NIS for a small patch. Secondly, the appraisal refers to the price for buying the property outright. In contrast, here we are dealing just with using it as the base to build upon, with ownership still belonging to pl, who will be using that area as an extension of his apartment. While one can demand whatever price he wants for real estate (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 227:51), the sides entrusted beit din to provide them with the appropriate price, which is not the inflated one.

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.
