Ruling: A one-page agreement between the sides maps out the rights and the responsibilities of the two. Pl claims that the document is binding even though it was not signed. Def contradicted himself on the matter at different junctures of the adjudication.

Such an agreement need not be signed, as no document is necessary. The Rama (Choshen Mishpat 176:3) says that partners for joint work do not need a kinyan, and oral agreement is binding. This is all the more so when there was not just commitment to future joint work but rather that the two actually worked together, as beginning work is itself a kinyan (Ramban, Bava Batra 9a). According to def, that there is no partnership but that pl is just a senior worker, work agreements are certainly made binding by the beginning of work (Shulchan Aruch, CM 333:1).
According to pl, the two are partners, and therefore pl only has to compensate def for giving her the second half of the business. Def argues that pl cannot be a partner, since everything external was done in def’s name, and he made all of the financial investments.
Fundamentally, beit din agrees with pl. The facts that the heading of the agreement is "Partnership Agreement" and that the profits were to be split 50-50 are among several indications that the two were partners. There are many different types of partnerships, differing concerning what each one brings to helping the business as well as how they will be rewarded. Since def is in charge of the technical elements, payments, and infrastructure, it is not surprising that all the external contracts are in his name. Regarding investment, the great discount in salary that pl gave to the business is also an investment and risk.
Next time we will see the machloket between dayanim on the extent of the partnership.

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

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.
