Parashat Hashavua: Mikdash and Jewish State Go Together – part I

At the end of Sefer Shemot, the Torah ends the story of the construction of the Mishkan with the divine cloud that descended onto it. However, we see already in the beginning of Sefer Vayikra that the job of inaugurating the Mishkan was not yet complete, and it actually continues into other sefarim.

Ask the Rabbi: Purim on Motzaei Shabbat

What should we know about the transition from Shabbat to Purim this year (outside Yerushalayim)?

Igrot Hare’aya – Letters of Rav Kook: Cooperation between Rabbis of the New Yishuv – #200

I received your dear letter. We should be thankful to Hashem that although we know the difficulties of the New Yishuv, we also know its value to the Nation of Israel and to the Holy Land, despite all the shortcomings. We can apply to it the pasuk, “His Land has atoned for His nation.” The Holy Land’s sanctity shall purify and elevate all of the holy nation’s souls, from small to great, to hasten the liberation (may it come speedily).

P'ninat Mishpat: Back Pay for a Junior Lawyer – part I

The plaintiff (=pl) worked for the defendant’s (=def) law firm, first as an intern and then as a lawyer, from 2014-2020, for a very low salary. After leave due to the pandemic, pl’s employment ceased. Pl is suing for being paid less than the minimum wage for full-time work, for insufficient and delayed pension and other entitlements, and for an improper firing. Def counters that pl was a part-time worker and thus was paid sufficiently. Def also denies firing pl. Rather, pl refused to take on new cases, to which def commented that those who do not work cannot stay on, prompting pl to take his things and leave
