![]() Shabbat Parashat Nitzavim 5781Nitzavim | 27 Elul 5781 | 9/4/2021Parashat Hashavua: Two CreationsThe world was created twice – one that was preceded by a state of pre-creation, and another time after the world was already created. The first creation happened in the first month and the second one was in the seventh month. The first one was done based on chesed (kindness), the second one based on din (strict law). The first one was created by Hashem on His own; in the second, he included man as a partner. The second creation was the greater one. “This is the day of the beginning of Your actions.”P'ninat Mishpat: A Check Passing from Hand to Hand[The actual case included a few more people, whom we “removed” for simplicity’s sake.] While Mrs. L was claiming inheritance of land under government control, she sold future rights to the defendant (=def), who wrote her a check for 130,000 NIS. Mrs. L handed the check over to her ex-husband (=exh), who later gave the check to the plaintiff (=pl). Pl tried to cash the check but was refused due to insufficient funds and now is demanding payment from def. Def claims that the check had been given as a guarantee, with the stipulation that it must not be used for payment, and the deal to which it related did not come to fruition. |
