Does pl get paid for what he did not do because he was improperly fired? The gemara (Bava Metzia 76b) says that when an employer fires someone who started working, he gets paid until the end of the job he was supposed to do. The Perisha (Choshen Mishpat 333:2) says it depends if he is able to replace the job after being fired. The Netivot Hamishpat (333:7) says that since a kablan (paid by the job, not by time) can do the job whenever he wants, he always gets paid for what he did not do. In this case, the Perisha should agree that pl deserves pay, since the work that was left to do was not time intensive.
However, the pay is adjusted down because of the advantage of not having to work (po’el batel). There is a machloket how much to take off for this. In this case, because the work was open-ended, we will take off on the higher end, 50% of the amount due. After all the calculations, pl deserves 26,625 NIS in addition to the 4,000 NIS he already received.
Pl’s demand to add VAT is rejected. More frequently a quote includes VAT, and pl, who wants to extract money, needs to prove he deserves it.
Regarding def’s claim that pl was mochel when receiving the 4,000 NIS, if the disagreement were factual, we would believe def based on a migo she could have denied promising 35,000 NIS. However, def agrees that pl planned to receive more than 4,000 NIS but tricked them into giving that amount. She thinks that, halachically, this means he cannot receive more. It turns out that the money pl received was a form of tefisa (grabbing, here with trickery rather than force), which is sometimes permitted, especially when the grabber can prove he deserves what he took (Shulchan Aruch, CM 4:1, and here, pl did enough publicly to deserve 4,000 NIS. Taking the money without an actual mechila did not preclude receiving the rest.

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.
