Ruling: Last time we saw that pl’s reading of the contract is correct and that the basic employment agreement continued until explicitly changed.
The contract speaks of def paying monthly after receiving a time-specific bill. While this places an obligation of payment on def, it also puts an expectation of reporting monthly on pl. Had pl reported on time, def would have been more likely to either force a change in setting payment or an ending of the employment earlier. Therefore, def deserves, if only based on propriety and as compromise that is close to the law, to have a certain reduction. This reduction will be applied only from the time the first post-ten-hour specified bill was expected and up to but not including the point that def expressed unhappiness but continued pl’s work at a slow pace. The reduction will be of 15% of the fee due during the appropriate times.
Beit din rejects the disqualifying of the level of fee due to overpricing. According to Halacha, one cannot demand a return on overpricing for workers (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 227:33). Many of those who accept applying the law of the land, do so only in regard to actual laws, not rulings, and certainly not of lower-court rulings, as is the case here. Even in the cases in which the courts reduced the fee, it was for higher fees than this, especially when they took a percentage of the court award. Charging a fee per hour is reasonable. While def found someone cheaper, professionals are entitled to charge higher than average fees if they believe they provide a better service.

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.
