Ruling: What caused pl to close the yeshiva : Based on documents and testimonies, it is clear that the main reason for pl’s decision was not primarily the alleged breaches of contract but the educational difficulties. If not for the educational problems, in regard to which there are not strong claims, pl would apparently have continued and dealt separately with the financial disagreements. Since, in order to obligate payment based on reliance on another’s assurance, it is necessary to connect between the actions of the one to be obligated and the damage, we cannot obligate on these grounds
Payments to pl for improving the yeshiva : Testimony indicated that while the yeshiva’s survival was questionable, pl made improvements that made it more viable, and perhaps def should pay for those improvements. However, it is clear that rydf had lost so much money in trying to keep the yeshiva operating, that he was not willing to invest more, even if pl made improvements. This makes it like the Talmudic case of a field not made for planting (see Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 375:1). There would then have to be clear benefit from the actions, which appears lacking. Additionally, the Rashba (Shut VI, 111) says that if the recipient of benefit says explicitly that he will not pay for what someone claims to do on his behalf (as def wrote in the agreement), he is exempt from paying for benefit. The Pitchei Teshuva (CM 264:3) does cite the Pri Tevua as saying that when there is clear benefit, warning that one will not pay does not exempt. However, the Pitchei Choshen (Sechirut 8:(64)) says that the Pri Tevua may be talking about a case where he wants the benefit and just does not want to pay or when he requested that the matter be done for free and did not categorically refuse to pay. Therefore, def does not have to pay pl for his efforts on behalf of the yeshiva.

Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 5- "Proofs of G-d"
This may be the most important class of the entire book, where we finally get to the Jewish proof of the existence of G-d and truth of the Torah. We should follow His own direction where He tells us how to get to Him: through the Nation of Israel: Jewish history, Jewish prophets (and today, prophecies fulfilled), and national reward & punishment towards Am Yisrael.
Ein Aya One Humanity, One Creator, One Jerusalem
Rav Kook innovatively and beautifully explains this aggadeta where our sages say that after Jerusalem was destroyed her cinnamon fragrance is only found locked in a particular kingdom's treasury.
Shlach Lecha "Why So Many Don't Make Aliya?" - Parshat Shlach
This short article deals with the weird phenomena that every single time Am Yisrael is meant to enter the Land of Israel, throughout the Tanach, 2nd Temple and until today, they "chicken out" and look for excuses. What's the problem with this mitzvah that proves so challenging. The article, based on sources, suggests that the difficulties of Eretz Yisrael is precisely her secret and beauty!
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 4
The class deals with Islam and how the Muslim tries convincing the King of the Khazars, and why he was also rejected.
Beha'alotcha JEWISH STATE= GUIDE TO G-DLINESS & SELFLESSNESS
A Jewish State not only is a good idea, but educates us towards selflessness, altruism and G-dliness in our daily lives.
Ein Aya In Zion Even the Smoke of the Bark is Sweet
Just as Jewish nationalism is different from others, so too our capitol of Jerusalem is totally different than other national capitols. Rav Kook beautifully explains the passage in the Talmud that the trees of Yerushalayim were cinnamon trees.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 3
The second speaker invited to convince the Khazar King is the Christian, who presents their beliefs. Even before the questions of the King, "between the lines", the author R. Yehuda HaLevi already begins disproving them.
Ein Aya "Intimacy: Love, Life & Giving or Egocentric Taking & Expiration"
Today, many confuse between intimacy in marriage, based on love, giving and life which are diametrically opposed to empty "sex", pornography and prostitution which destroyed the Beit HaMikdash. The practical importance of clarifying this topic in today's western society is obvious, especially for young adults.
