Ruling: [Last time we saw that def deserves to be paid, but according to the second agreement, only 30,000 NIS.]
Regarding the lack of signature on scag, pl said that def had written the agreement and had confirmed by email that it was binding. Def contradicted herself on whether she had written it and what it represented. If we are to say that def did not lie about scag, the apparent explanation is the following. Def was willing to forgo the 15,000 NIS already due to her only based on an understanding that pl would continue to employ her (which could later lead to additional payment). When pl fired her, she removed the idea of a discount from her mind. In any case, scag is binding, as there was no need to sign on it or make a kinyan, which is unnecessary for waiving money due (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 12:8). By writing and sending the agreement, def showed that she forwent the 15,000 NIS.
Regarding the father’s waiver of claims, he explained that he was forced into it in order to get the documentation, but that he had in mind that he did not have claims, not that his daughter did not have claims to have money returned. We note that the document the father signed is titled "Certification of Receiving the File" and that it is possible to explain that the lack of claims has to do with complaints about the documents received or def’s performance of her job. It did not necessarily mean that pl could not demand return of money that was overpaid. In fact, the power of attorney that pl gave her father does not appear to be beyond authority to pick up the documentation, so that he did not have authority to waive all rights. Thus, for multiple reasons the father did not preclude pl from receiving the 15,000 NIS due back to her.

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.
