Ruling: [Last time we saw that the first agreement was a rental, not a sale. We started considering pl’s claim of mekach ta’ut (transaction based on misinformation) since pl did not know about the tax.]

Is lack of knowledge about building rights/taxes comparable to something missing/wrong with a property? Contemporary Acharonim dispute this matter. Rav Yehuda Silman (Hayashar V’hatov X, pp. 85-93) compares a case similar to ours to a blemish in a property. In both cases, the buyer can opt out of the sale. Along these lines, the Maharsham (III:181) says that if the seller did not know about a significant tax, he can nullify the sale. Rav Levin (Yerushalayim Rulings XI, p. 310) brings a machloket whether changes in rights are grounds for nullifying a sale, but concludes that if it was known that building rights were a possibility, not being aware of the tax considerations does not nullify the sale. Rav Nussbaum (Mekabtz’el XXX, p. 375), discussing a case where the buyer has to inform the seller of rights that the seller does not know about, opined that the lack of knowledge would not nullify the sale but the buyer would violate the prohibition of benefitting from mispricing and would be obligated to return the difference.
In our case, the first two opinions would say that pl can nullify the sale, and the third would say that he would be obligated to return the extra value of the property. In this case, pl is asking for less than that, allowing def to enjoy the new rights and asking only to reimburse for the fraction of that difference, to reimburse for the added tax, and he should be able to do so.
We will bring the final considerations next time.

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.
