Ruling: Second fee agreement: Beit din concluded that the agreement, when completed without def3’s signature was invalid, but that def3’s behavior confirmed his acceptance of the agreement. We disagree. From communications between pl and def3, it is clear that what def3 helped pl with was a document that def1 and def2 would view as obligatory, so that def2 would give def1’s money to pl. Had def3 agreed to obligate def, he would have just signed the agreement, which he told pl that he refused to do. Indeed, this was a dishonest maneuver of both pl and def3. This is different from the situation regarding the second sales agreement, as promoting that agreement must by force affect all the partners of def, so that def3’s participation shows his agreement. Beit din also relied on def’s meeting minutes, which served as a way to accept the fee agreement. However, there is no indication, including the signature of someone other than def3, that def3 was part of the meeting’s decision. (Parenthetically, def claimed that the fee in the agreement is exaggerated, but this is not needed operatively because we have rejected the agreement’s validity anyway.)
First fee agreement: Beit din reasoned that even though the second fee agreement is invalid, it is clear that pl needs to be paid for the work he did, and therefore one can rely on the first fee agreement between pl and def1. However, we do not accept the validity of that agreement because pl’s signature does not appear on it. Therefore, we are left with the sales agreement, which gives pl a significant discount on an apartment. Beyond that, we return the matter to beit din to determine what other further fee pl is entitled to.

Israel and the Nations A Few Minutes & Many Innovative Ideas on Antisemitism & What to do About It
As we approach the High Holidays, this short lecture (18 minutes) deals with the unfortunate situation of how Israel and the Jewish People stand against antisemitism, analyzing its cause according to Rav Kook, and how to deal with the issue pragmatically & via our prayers.
Ha'azinu PURSUIT is PERFECTION
p. Ha'azinu, Shabbat Shuva
Rav Kook deals with the question of the seemingly hopeless nature of Tshuva. For G-d Himself knows that He created us with free will, which inevitably means we will sometimes make mistakes and choose wrong. This can easily be frustrating, freezing us into inaction and ye'ush (loss of hope). If one sins even once, does he chalila have no choice but suicide?! Moreover, our Godly conscience demands justice, righteousness and perfection, but we all know this is impossible, so what's the solution? Rav Kook's innovative thinking, strongly based on chazal (our sages), offers an inciteful and important aspect to this topic, especially this time of year!
