Ruling: The Dayanim disagreed concerning the extent of the partnership.
When there are insufficient indications otherwise, we assume a partnership is equal, as the Shulchan Aruch (Choshen Mishpat 176:5) rules that even if partners give different amounts to the business’ "joint pot," they share profits equally. According to Dayan 1, this is strengthened by the fact that the agreement states that the two will share the profits equally after the "point of balance" is reached.
Here, there is reason to say that an equal split of everything is illogical, because if the partnership dissolves after a short amount of time, the initial investment, which def provided alone, would have been lost.
According to Dayan 1, the sides did not anticipate such a break up, certainly not quickly, and pl would have had to compensate def in that case. Since after five years, the original investment was mainly returned (see later installments) and since over that time, pl’s being underpaid meant she had also invested, there is no problem to say the ownership of the center (not the overall business, which included a center owned by def) was equally owned.
Dayan 2 distinguished between three elements of the value of a business: profits, physical property, and monitin (intangible elements, e.g., reputation, customer base, professional connections). Regarding profits, all agree that they were supposed to be divided equally, i.e., full partnership. Regarding monitin, we can also assume that it was shared, as both sides contributed toward it. Regarding physical property, which def bought, that can be presumed to be owned by def alone, which explains why investments in these matters were not recorded as an "owner’s loan" to the business. This is in line with the halacha that when the sides to a partnership contribute different amounts if the funds are still intact, they are returned to the contributing partner (Shulchan Aruch, CM 176:5). (According to Dayan 1, that refers to a case in which the partnership’s main operation is using the funds for buying and selling.)
Dayan 3 agrees with Dayan 2 that there were no equal rights in the center. He differs in saying that this did not find expression in def owning the physical property, but rather that pl must pay def for his agreement to transfer the property to pl.
Next time we continue with other elements of the ruling.

Ein Aya Armies Still Necessary for Balance & the War Against Wars

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.
