Case: The plaintiff (=pl) hired a lawyer (=def) to represent her in divorce proceedings and asked her to do so in Rabbinical Court. According to their first contract, the base fee was 30,000 NIS, which covered 3 hearings in one tribunal plus another 15,000 NIS if there are (up to two) hearings in another tribunal. Beyond that, each hearing would be 2,000 NIS. The get was done in the Rabbinical Court. Soon thereafter, def sued for support on plโs behalf in the (secular) Court for Family Matters. Months later, the ex-husband sued for division of property in court, which pl claims caused her to be suspected of stealing from their joint account. Pl and def began to argue, and a second agreement was made, limiting the fee to 30,000 NIS under certain circumstances. A month later, pl fired def, with complaints about defโs suing for support in the courts instead of the Rabbinical Court and over not suing the ex-husband over property (we will not get into the two sidesโ arguments on these issues). When pl asked def for relevant documentation from her tenure, def demanded 45,000 NIS to receive it, which pl paid. Because pl claims that defโs whole work was flawed and damaging, she demands that all of the payment be returned. [Def also raised questions about whether she agreed to the second agreement and whether pl was bound by an agreement not to make claims against def โ to be explained and discussed next time.]

Whether def deserves the extra 15,000 NIS is a better question, as pl says that she opposed taking the support claims to another tribunal, although it might have been necessary anyway since the ex-husband sued in court. It appears that this disagreement precipitated the second agreement. There it says that only if the case in court required more than two hearings, would there be a need for the 15,000 NIS addition, which would cover another two hearings. Because this agreement was written at a time that there already had been two hearings in both the Rabbinical Court and the secular one, the condition must have referred to another two beyond that, as the language implies. Also, it does not say in the second agreement that the lowering of the fee is conditional on defโs continued work for pl. Another reason to accept plโs reading of the agreement is that defโs claims included many statements that needed to be retracted due to inconsistencies. Therefore, since def did not do any significant work after this agreement was made, the second agreement indicates that the fee should be 30,000 NIS.

Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 9 - "Seeing is Believing" (parag. 21-30)
These paragraphs elaborate on the theme that seeing and knowing is better than any attempt to prove logically, and begins explaining the difference between Israel and gentiles.
Ein Aya Various Universal Stages of the Geula Process
Rav Kook examines the various stages of redemption, explaining how (in addition to the obvious oft-mentioned stages of ingathering the exiles, reviving the Hebrew language, army, state etc.) the messianic dream of world prosperity, the State of Israel and world unity can and are realistically and logically gradually coming true.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 8- "Answering Questions on the Kuzari's Proof from Mass Revelation
How do we know that the "claim" of mass revelation to 2,000,000 witnesses at Mt. Sinai is really true? This important class answers all of the questions skeptics ask about this claim of the Kuzari.
Ein Aya Armies Still Necessary for Balance & the War Against Wars
Rav Kook explains why the world was originally divided into the various seemingly contradicting ideologies and cultures, in order to develop each one respectively. Swords or armies symbolize how each respective ideology defends themselves, as well as deters their opposing ideologies and cultures. On the other hand, the messianic era will be one of peace, and Rav Kook explains the transition to that stage, which mankind is already undergoing.
The Land of Israel LGBT'S IN ISRAEL
The question was asked, how can one make Aliyah with the LGBT parades?
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 7 - Five Accumulative Proofs of G-d
As a preparation for the Kuzari's classic proof of G-d from the mass-revelation at Sinai, we start here with 5 other directions to strengthen our belief which also contribute to what the Kuzari will present as well.
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.
