Compromise and Ruling: Beit din succeeded in getting the sides to agree to a compromise on the following matters. For the time pl did not enter the building and for any damages up to this point, def will pay him 1,000 NIS. Def will follow the instructions of a newly appointed expert. The only claims pl will have will be for damages that will arise from this point on. Regarding the nature of a compromise regarding any future discovery of damage, it should be payable only if pl will be able to convince beit din that Halacha obligates def to pay for it. Regarding use of joint space, the language of the agreement should be: "Def accepts upon himself to follow Halacha and not take control of joint property improperly, without explicit permission of the other residents."
As far as the present safety of the building, beit din posits that we are to follow the opinions of the three experts, a clear majority, who attest that there is presently no problem (based on Shach, Choshen Mishpat 46:66). Even if we were to accept pl’s claim that the first expert has an interest in the matter, pl’s claim that he has heard negative rumors about the second expert cannot be accepted without any verification. That which pl claims that the main expert cannot be believed because he is trusting the contractor, is not valid, as part of an expert’s ability is to know what information he can trust and what he cannot.
Even if pl were right that the building is still damaged, it is very unclear that he could charge def for it, as def had the work done according to the professional directive of the first engineer. It is a major question whether a homeowner is required to pay for the damage his worker does. At first glance, the one who does the damage has to pay (Bava Kama 98b), although the minhag is to make the contractor, who usually has the resources to pay, do so (Chukei Hatorah, Avoda 26). Others say that the one who hired the contractor has to pay, because he is given permission to build only if he accepts such responsibility (Shut Minchat Asher I:113), but that if one can hold the person who made the mistake responsible, that is what is done.

The Land of Israel LGBT'S IN ISRAEL
The question was asked, how can one make Aliyah with the LGBT parades?
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 7 - Five Accumulative Proofs of G-d
As a preparation for the Kuzari's classic proof of G-d from the mass-revelation at Sinai, we start here with 5 other directions to strengthen our belief which also contribute to what the Kuzari will present as well.
Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
Chukat "HOW ENTEBBE STOLE THE BICENTENNIAL
The Difference Between Historic & Eternal"
As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's worth remembering her 200th Bicentennial birthday, on Jul. 4th 1976, when Israel "stole the show" by shocking the world & miraculously saving 101 hostages in a foreign continent. As Pres. As Pres. Trump decides which countries get priority in his new Middle-East, it's worth reminding him of the difference between historic events and eternally historic ones. This obviously connects with this week's parsha, as well!

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.
