Ruling: We should note that beit din’s policy is that employment legislation and ordinances are halachically binding.
We accept def’s contention that they did not fire pl, as they did nothing to indicate firing. However, pl is still entitled to payment coming to those who are fired, as placing a worker in unpaid leave for an extended amount of time is worsening a worker’s conditions, in which case a worker can quit and have the rights of one who was fired. However, since there was no firing, there cannot be a claim of firing without warning.
The Law of Equal Opportunity in the Workplace forbids discrimination against a worker for a variety of factors, including age, gender, and religion. However, pl did not pinpoint any reason for discrimination and certainly did not prove discrimination. Def also identified specific reasons why they were unhappy with pl’s work, which were neither proven nor disproven.
Regarding the salary for calculating the social rights, def claimed that the pay for extra hours was not guaranteed but depended on whether he did the extra work or not. They point to the renewed contract that states that if there will be a reduction in hours worked, there will be a reduction in salary. According to the law, the basis of the salary for such matters as pension does not include additions to the base salary that are conditional on some factor, including extra work. During the later period of employment, pl did not receive the extra compensation in the social rights nor was his support during unpaid leave based on this amount, and pl did not protest the matter at that time. Even if pl was not aware of these factors, he still is not able to demand rights beyond what his contract awards him.

Israel and the Nations A Few Minutes & Many Innovative Ideas on Antisemitism & What to do About It

Ha'azinu PURSUIT is PERFECTION
p. Ha'azinu, Shabbat Shuva
Rav Kook deals with the question of the seemingly hopeless nature of Tshuva. For G-d Himself knows that He created us with free will, which inevitably means we will sometimes make mistakes and choose wrong. This can easily be frustrating, freezing us into inaction and ye'ush (loss of hope). If one sins even once, does he chalila have no choice but suicide?! Moreover, our Godly conscience demands justice, righteousness and perfection, but we all know this is impossible, so what's the solution? Rav Kook's innovative thinking, strongly based on chazal (our sages), offers an inciteful and important aspect to this topic, especially this time of year!
