Shabbat Parashat Beha'alotcha 5780

Beha'alotcha | 14 Sivan 5780 | 06/06/2020

Parashat Hashavua: Humble, Majestic Sounds

The trumpets that are discussed in the parasha were intended for three functions: 1. As a symbol of the monarchy/government; 2. As a means of raising an alarm to be saved from trouble. 3. To sound a call of thanks for plenty or salvation.

Ask the Rabbi: Which Way to Turn at Bo’i B’shalom

In what direction should one turn when getting up to “Bo’i B’shalom” at the end of Lecha Dodi? Many shuls seems to have confusion on the matter

Ein Ayah: Individual and General Exceptions to Nature

Aharon’s staff swallowed the [Egyptians’] staffs. Rabbi Elazar said: It was a miracle within a miracle.

P'ninat Mishpat: A Defendant Continuing Adjudication after the Plaintiff Halted it

The plaintiff (=pl) sued the defendants (=def), a rabbi and the organization he runs, for 126,360 shekels. During the beit din hearing, pl became agitated about def’s alleged lies and stormed out while saying that he was pulling his claim. After the hearing, def submitted a counterclaim against pl and other defendants (=otdef) to be held at our beit din, but otdef refuse to come to beit din. Def asked beit din for permission to sue pl and otdef in secular court, to confirm that pl had withdrawn his claim, to return to them the beit din fee of 9,825 shekels for their countersuit, and to receive compensation for the wasted time in beit din due to pl. Pl responded that he left beit din in anger and did not mean to pull his claim, nor is he willing to adjudicate in secular court. Def says that it is not fair for him to have to adjudicate on one issue in different places with different litigants. Pl also expressed disdain for def for not coming to the hearing but sending the organization’s lawyer to represent him instead, claiming that beit din was favoring def because he is a rabbi.
