Parashat Hashavua: Conversion and the Giving of the Torah

The surprising close connection between the holiday of the giving of the Torah and Megillat Rut, named for the ultimate convert, helps us arrive at the following important conclusions: A. Conversion is very positive, allowing every person to choose to join those who stood at Sinai. B. All of Israel converted at Sinai, so that we are descendants of converts (Kritut 9a). C. Acceptance of mitzvot is an essential part of conversion (Yevamot 47).

Ask the Rabbi: Cooking for Shabbat at the End of Yom Tov

Are there any things to be careful about when cooking for Shabbat on Yom Tov that falls out on Friday, with the help of an eiruv tavshilin (=et)?

Igrot Hare’aya – Letters of Rav Kook: Not Copying Western Seminaries – #149 – part IV

I am not saying that all the yeshiva’s students should be very learned in all fields, which is an impossible aspiration. There are rare individuals who are born with such talents that they can absorb all matters, but for the most part, each will branch off to his own field, and one is able to learn only from the “place” that his heart desires (Avoda Zara 19a).

P'ninat Mishpat: Agent who Did Not Set Agent’s Fee – part II

The plaintiff (=pl), a real estate agent who specializes in apartments in the Chassidish sector, put an ad in the paper for an apartment (=apt) at 2.4 mil. NIS, and def bought it through her. Pl demands a 2% agent’s fee. Def refuses to pay any fee with various claims. [The claim that is relevant to this part of the ruling is:] Pl is not a licensed agent, did not sign def on an agent’s contract, as required by law, or raise the issue of how much of a fee she expected to receive.
