Ruling: Monthly stipend: Pl admits that ftr did no more than make an oral pledge to give a present, with no act of kinyan. This is not binding (Bava Metzia 58a). This is strengthened by the (unrefuted) claim that it was conditional on its use by pl for an apartment, which pl admits to have not acted on.
Part of the business: One point of disagreement is whether the value pl ascribes to the business is correct. However, the question is not operative. The entire estate is to be protected to ensure support of mtr (Shulchan Aruch, Even Haezer 93:3), and therefore, nothing needs to be paid to pl at this point.
Part in the bank account: Ftr set up this bank account to finance medical expenses of his and mtr’s. Since this money is likely earmarked for mtr’s needs, it would not be divided with the general estate. In any case, the resources of the estate must be set aside for possible use for the widow’s medical needs (ibid. 79:1).
Stocks: Pl will get his part, but there is a technical problem taking it out now.

Funeral expenses: Pl admits that he took part in financing ftr’s funeral without an explicit stipulation that if he has financial complaints, he can get it back. While things one only thinks of are not halachically significant (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 207:4), the Rama (ad loc.) says that if it involved a present, then thought can make them conditional. However, the Aruch Hashulchan (CM 207:12) says that each case must be considered on its merit. In this case, it is natural that one chip in towards a father’s funeral, and pl cannot come much later and say it was conditional.
Rights in a car: Def2 bought and uses a car but put it in pl’s name (for technical reasons). Since pl admits that he has no direct rights in the car, he cannot demand money for it. It makes no difference if def2 used his own money to buy it or whether his parents decided to pay for some or all of it, as they had the right to use their money as they liked.

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.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 2
The King of the Kazars, in his search for truth, starts by inviting the philosopher. This is a "crash-course" on Aristotelian philosophy and the reasons why the king is not convinced. Through this dialogue, R. Yehuda HaLevi already foreshadows some of his central ideas that will appear later.
Shavuot "Love of Torah = Love of Israel"- for Shavuot
People often identify Judaism as just a religion, but upon examination, we see, even halachically and explicitly in the siddur, that the Torah is dependent upon Am Yisrael, Jewish nationalism.
Ein Aya The Middle-Child & Anti-Tzni'ut Syndrome- Negative Attention
Although tzni'ut is for men just like women, Rav Kook deals here with the sources in Yishayahu and the Talmud which deals with the special problem of lack of tzni'ut in women's dress and actions, where it's not just a problem of midot and character traits, but also can include practical, social and national ramifications, as well, which caused the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash and exile from Israel. The class continues the previous one (Ayn Aya Shabbat vi, 29), and is a must for all educators and parents of high-school aged and young adults.
