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.

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.

D'varim Judaism’s Social Vision
Re’eh
Giving is more than an act of generosity—it is an essential part of human dignity that belongs to everyone, rich and poor alike. The ultimate goal of help is to empower others to stand on their own.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 9 - "Seeing is Believing" (parag. 21-30)
These paragraphs elaborate on the theme that seeing and knowing is better than any attempt to prove logically, and begins explaining the difference between Israel and gentiles.
