Parashat Hashavua: On Tefilla – part III

We will continue to delve into the matter of tefilla as it is practiced within a community of believers in Hashem. In that framework, let us ask: To what extent are we supposed to pray for our needs and to what extent are we to make practical efforts toward them? Also, where does belief in Hashem's providence fit in?

Ask the Rabbi: Chazan Having Trouble Taking Three Steps Back

As chazan, I was unable to take three steps back after my silent Shemoneh Esrei because someone was davening close behind me even when the gabbai signaled me to start chazarat hashatz. What should I have done at that point?

P'ninat Mishpat: Dealing with Uncompleted Renovations

The plaintiff (=pl) hired the defendant (=def) to renovate his home. Def gave an estimate of 25,000 NIS, which was paid in full. It was not finalized what work would be included, but the main work was in turning a bedroom into a workroom, undoing a closet area, moving an electric box, and other small jobs. When pl saw that def would not be able to do some of the work, he asked him to build a fence instead; def originally agreed but then decided against it. Pl claims that the work that def did is worth no more than 10,000 NIS and demands a return of 15,000 NIS. Def does not remember what was supposed to be included in the work but claims that pl had been satisfied, which is why he paid in full, and that pl is making claims now because he thinks he could have done much of the work himself.
