Ruling: Beit din’s policy (we omit details here) is that the nation’s labor laws, including minimum wage requirements, are halachically binding. Since def received monthly 2,000 NIS as an intern and even as a regular worker, 3,500 NIS, which are under the minimum wage for a full-time worker (43 hours a week), we must determine how much pl worked.

The pay stubs refer to 93 monthly hours, approximately half of full-time hours. While def did not regularly give pl the pay stubs, they were generated as a formal document, and pl received them whenever he requested them. In general, we assume that official documents, such as this, are not falsified until it is proven otherwise (see Rashba, Bava Batra 171a). The pay stub is also correct regarding the amount received. Also, the witnesses who held pl’s position all said that they did part-time work. While this is not a proof that this was the situation for pl, it does strengthen that possibility.
To prove that he put in full-time work, pl presented 222 emails that he sent from work (he did not have email at home) during afternoons and 218 legal documents spanning 826 pages he produced. However, this is not proof of full-time work, as the number of emails comes just to about one a week and the legal documents were for the most part, standard forms into which one just puts in basic client information. Pl also admitted that there were times when even during the morning, he worked on private portfolios.
The fact that pl worked for six years without complaining he was paid under minimum wage is significant. Although silence does not always indicate agreement, the fact that pl continued to act under these agreements (by coming to work – see Netivot Hamishpat 81:5), seems to indicate that the salary fit the actual number of hours.
Based on compromise that is close to judgment, we will credit pl with 28 hours weekly.

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.
