Q:Is a litigant doing a favor for the dian asur mikar hadin or just an harcaka and can a bais din collect fees

A:The poskim say if the litigant does the favor in front of the other litigant being there it is asur mikar hadin but if the litigant does the favor for the dian not in front of the other litigant it is an harcaka the S"A says the community should have a kuppah to support bais din collected every year the Rama says the collection should be done at the beginning of the year no chanifus to any person have money in advance the Tumim says if bais din is supported by the kehilla like the S"A if not then bais din can charge fees to both litigants equally

Q:How should the litigants speak in bais din can 1 litigant present his case b/4 the other 1 what about by the summons

A:The S"A says both litigants need to be at bais din at the same time speak equally wear the same clothes so that there should be no bias The Rama says this applies(both litigants being at bais din at the same time) when the dian knows he is judging the case a head of time the poskim ask what if he does not know ahead of time they answer it could be a problem but if the other guy is ok with it then it is ok by the summons some bais din avoid the problem by not having the dian of the case at the summons while other bais din have the dian of the case at the summons

Please be aware: We believe Missionaries are in our community.

Two South American women, characterizing themselves as Jewish, are attempting to infiltrate our community as cleaning ladies, to proselytize. This opinion is based on their activities and conversations with unsuspecting individuals. These two women may or may not be Jewish, but they use their knowledge of the Jewish religion to ingratiate themselves and try to worm their way into the Mikdash Me'at of our homes.

The names these women have been using are: Yiska Bat Kedoshim and Devora Levi or Devora Cohen. 'Yiska' is about 5' 2" and broad shouldered; 'Devora' is about 5' 7". Both are in their 50s or older, with pug noses, and have been wearing thick glasses, tichels and skirts. In their initial demeanor they project a simple intelligence level and warmth

Fw: [chicago-aneinu] Ahavas Yisrael email launched l"n Michoel Yech iel ben Avraham a"h

On February 16, 2010, Martin Grossman was executed by the State of Florida.
In the weeks preceding the execution, there was a remarkable outpouring of
support from Jews around the world. Jewish people of every 'label' and
stripe participated in the struggle to save Martin's life. Unfortunately,
all the efforts to save Martin's life were unsuccessful. On the morning
after his tragic death, what can we do to hold on to the tremendous
inspiration that this campaign engendered?

The demonstration of *ahavas Yisrael* and *achdus* was phenomenal. Indeed,
Mr. Grossman's final words were… *Ahavas Yisrael*!

It is seems obvious that Klal Yisrael should strengthen itself in *ahavas
Yisrael and Bein Adom L'Chavero*. The *Beis HaMikdosh* was destroyed due to
*Sinas Chinam*, and *averos Bein Adom L'Chavero*. Certainly, an effort to
strengthen *ahavas Yisrael* will hasten the coming of Mashiach and the
rebuilding of the *Beis HaMikdosh*.

Towards this end, Linas HaTzedek: The Center for Jewish Values announces an
important new program. Today, the very day after Martin Grossman's
unfortunate death, the Center is launching a worldwide email list with a
daily learning portion of Hilchos Bein Adom L'Chavero. Participation will be
completely free. Subscribers will receive short daily emails on Hilchos Bein
Adom L'Chavero.

The material will be based on The Code of Jewish Conduct, an English guide
to Hilchos Bein Adom L'Chavero, written by Rav Yitzchak Silver under the
Center's auspices. It will also be possible to receive a Hebrew version,
from Rav Silver's Sefer Mishpatei HaShalom.

Linas HaTzedek: The Center for Jewish Values <http://jewishvalues.us/> was
founded in 5761/2001. The organization's programs include: The Linas
HaTzedek Kollel Network, an international group of Kollelim which study Bein
Adom L'Chavero in depth; publication of Bein Adom L'Chavero materials for
varied audiences in both Hebrew and English; shiurim and learning programs
across the globe. Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, a world-renowned expert on Bein

Martin Grossman's Last Words Were 'Ahavas Yisroel'

February 16, 2010

An Askan who worked tirelessly on the fight to save Martin Grossman's life, and was Davening outside the Florida State Prison during the execution, just told YWN what transpired during the last few seconds of Martin Grossman's life.

The Chabad Shaliach to Jacksonville Florida, Rabbi Nachum Kurinsky was with Martin.

"I would like to extend my heartfelt remorse to the victim's family," Grossman said. I fully regret everything that happened that night, everything that was done, whether I remember everything or not, I accept responsibility."

Martin Grossman then began to recite Shema Yisroel with "deep concentration" - moving Rabbi Kurinsky to tears.

When he finished Shema, he paused, and his last two words were "Ahavas Yisroel".

Boruch Dayan Ha'emes.

I am writing to share with you the sad news that Martin Grossman, Michoel Yechiel ben Avrohom, olov hasholom, was executed this evening in Florida.

It would be understandable for any of us to feel not only sorrow but frustration that all our efforts didn't result in the result for which we were mispallel.

But I personally choose, even amid the pain and sorrow, to focus on the tremendous ahavas Yisroel, shtadlonus and achdus that was demonstrated by our tzibbur over recent days. I want to personally thank all of you who telephoned Governor Crist's office, or sent him e-mails and faxes, or participated in the ultimate act of ahavas Yisroel: tefilla on a brother's behalf. Your reaction to the impending tragedy was remarkable. May it stand as a zechus for his neshoma, and for all of Klal Yisroel, and hasten bi'as go'el tzedek, b'mheira biyomeinu.

[chicago-aneinu] Baruch Dayan Ha'Emes - Martin Grossman Executed

The State of Florida has executed 45-year-old Martin Edward Grossman, Michoel Yechiel ben Miriam Sarah, who was convicted of killing a state wildlife officer during the 1980s. Governor Charlie Crist’s office said Grossman died at 6:17 p.m. today at Florida State Prison.

May the achdus that he brought about in Klal Yisroel be a zchus for his neshama.

Fw: Tehillim Conference call for Martin Grossman Today at 5pm EST! Call 718-258-2008 enter prompt 9 and then 9

Dear Friends of Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation,

All of us are powerfully aware of the fate facing Martin Grossman. Hopefully our tefilos will be accepted and his life will be spared.

We received a handful of emails from people who questioned our wisdom of davening for a person who admittedly committed a terrible crime. Doesn't he deserve the punishment? Isn't is a Chilul Hashem that we are advocating so strongly for a confessed criminal?

I felt important to answer these emails so that even for the handful of people who this is an issue for, that we clarify that this initiative is not a Chilul Hashem.

The first thing to be said is that Gedolei Yisroel have strongly supported efforts to free Mr. Grossman. But let me add some additional thoughts.

I don't know that much about the case. This is what was reported to me. Martin Grossman had a difficult upbringing. He was an orphan. He got involved in crime, possibly drugs as well.

He had been on parole and was caught by a law officer. He panicked and the rest of the story we know.

Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwebel, the director of Agudath Yisrael of America told me that according to attorneys who are experienced in death row sentencing, there are definite legal precedents

for clemency.

I can't address the legal issues. I can only tell you what seems to make sense to me. We all make mistakes. But Hashem created teshuva so that even if we make big mistakes we can rectify them. By experiencing remorse, Mr. Grossman has done one of the basic of steps of teshuva that the Torah requests.

Here are the key points:

1. The act that Mr. Grossman did at the age of 19 or 20 ,was not premeditated but was done under pressure and in a state of panic

2. He has expressed great remorse for his actions.

3. He's been a model prisoner for 25 years

Note: evil people don't express remorse nor are they model prisoners.

4. No one is asking that he be released only to change his sentence to life in prison without parole. Certainly he will have paid with his life for his crime by being in jail basically most of his life.

And finally there is the issue that today he has embraced Yiddishkeit and davens 3 times a day

Of course, even if he didn't become a bal teshuva we should advocate for any Jew.

But one, who in the depth of prison and has found Hashem, who says the words of Tehillim on death row; such a person is certainly greatly deserving of our efforts to commute this sentence.

For those who had questions about our efforts, I hope this clarifies the issue for you.

I believe that the Ahavas Yisroel and efforts exhibited by Klal Yisrael in this matter is certainly a zchus for all of us.

May it be a zchus for Michoel Yechiel ben Miriam Sorah.

Sincerely,

Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation

Fw: Urgent Request

We are less than 12 hours away from the scheduled execution, Rachmona litzlan, of Martin Grossman, Michoel Yechiel ben Miriam Sorah.

There is still hope his life can be spared. The effort to persuade Florida Governor Charlie Crist to stay the execution and grant him a new clemency hearing continues on a variety of fronts.

Our Gedolei Yisroel have asked us to do whatever we can to help save our brother's life. Therefore, at this moment of ne'ilas she'arim, let us continue to let the Governor know how strongly we feel about this matter. Please, even if you have already contacted his office, call him at 850- 488-5603 to respectfully request that Martin Grossman's life be spared.

The community's response to this tragic situation has been nothing short of overwhelming. May our display of ahavas Yisroel, together with our ongoing tefillos, find favor in the Eyes of the King of all kings, in whose Hands the hearts of all earthly leaders reside

[chicago-aneinu] URGENT UPDATE -- Clemency Request for Jewish Death Row Inmate

To Friends and Constituents of Agudath Israel:

We are little more than 24 hours away from the scheduled execution, Rachmona litzlan, of Martin Grossman, Michoel Yechiel ben Miriam Sorah.

I wish I would have positive news to report, but the best I can say at this time is that there is still hope his life can be spared. His lawyers have a legal motion pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, on which the Court is expected to rule by tomorrow morning. The effort to persuade Florida Governor Charlie Crist to stay the execution and grant him a new clemency hearing also continues on a variety of fronts.

Our Gedolei Yisroel have asked us to do whatever we can to help save our brother's life. Therefore, at this moment of ne'ilas she'arim, let us continue to let the Governor know how strongly we feel about this matter. Please, even if you have already contacted his office, call him tonight or tomorrow morning at 850- 488-5603 to respectfully request that Martin Grossman's life be spared. (Note: This is a different number than the one we circulated last week; we are told that the other number, 850-488-7146, may not be operative at this time.)

The community's response to this tragic situation has been nothing short of overwhelming. May our display of ahavas Yisroel, together with our ongoing tefillos, find favor in the Eyes of the King of all kings, in whose Hands the hearts of all earthly leaders reside.

Please daven for Sholom Mordechai ben Rivka

BREAKING NEWS: Travesty as Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin is Placed in Solitary Confinement After Thug Threatens To Kill Him

Wednesday February 10, 2010 9:50 PM

A Matzav.com Exclusive Report By Dovid Bernstein:

Word has leaked out from the Linn County Correctional Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that R' Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, who has been denied bail pending his sentencing, has been placed in solitary confinement. This absolutely shocking revelation compounds the already continuous travesty of justice in the Rubashkin case, as has been recorded and analyzed here on Matzav.com over the past few months.

This recent horrific action came after Sholom Mordechai was suddenly forced to share his cell with a new prisoner who was transferred from another jail after the authorities there could not keep him under control. It is said that this prisoner has been jailed for assaulting a family member of his.

This new roommate of Sholom Mordechai's immediately expressed his hatred for his Jewish counterpart, calling him "dirty Jew." The thug physically threw Sholom Mordechai - while he was wearing his tallis and davening - across the room, stating that he was going to kill him. Sholom Mordechai expressed to those with whom he spoke that he was - and is - afraid for his very life.

The prison authorities, in an appalling response to the thug's actions, claimed that it "takes two to tango" and that the incident was as much the fault of Sholom Mordechai as it was this violent, convicted criminal. The authorities subsequently placed Sholom Mordechai in solitary confinement.

It should be noted that Sholom Mordechai, whose imprisonment pending his sentencing is altogether inexcusable and unfounded, has been a model citizen and completely cooperative from the day he was taken, in handcuffs, from the courthouse following his trial.

"People don't realize what goes on in a jail," an askan told Matzav.com this evening. "It is not a 'country club' jail out there in Cedar Rapids. It is a frightening experience, where an inmate such as Sholom Mordechai is filled with fear for his life and has every reason to be terrified of the criminals with whom he has been jailed."

When he was first placed in solitary confinement, Sholom Mordechai was not allowed any communication with family and friends. He now sits in a cell with nothing but a cement block on which to sleep and a skimpy towel to use as a "pillow" - all because of the ghastly actions of an anti-Semite.

Sholom Mordechai, based on what has leaked from the prison, is permitted to leave his cell for 30 minutes a day, when he is brought together with others who are also in solitary confinement - surely not a pleasant or safe experience for a frum, yarmulke-clad, bearded Jew.

Solitary confinement can last from five to ten days.

This latest move is a clear violation of Sholom Mordechai's rights as a prisoner, because, as mentioned, he has followed every directive since being imprisoned.

The Jewish community has already expressed profound concern and dismay over the harsh position taken by federal prosecutors in Iowa with respect to the pre-sentencing detention of Sholom Mordechai. In light of numerous objective factors that make it clear that Sholom Mordechai is not a flight risk, and in light of certain compelling personal and familial considerations that render his pre-sentencing detention particularly cruel, the prosecutors' ongoing insistence that Sholom Mordechai remain incarcerated through the long months he awaits sentencing is unjustifiable and even inhumane.

Last year, Sholom Mordechai was imprisoned for 76 days prior to his trial, also on the ostensible theory that he was a flight risk. Eventually, the District Judge agreed that pre-trial detention was inappropriate.

Although Sholom Mordechai complied with every detail of the terms under which he was ultimately released before trial, the District Judge, at the urging of the prosecution, imprisoned him again after the jury's verdict - as a result of which Sholom Mordechai has been held in prison since November 12, 2009, pending his sentencing. His appeal from that decision is now pending, after an unexplained denial by three Circuit Judges, before the full Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

This latest horrendous decision by the Linn County Correctional Center is disturbing and wrong. May Hashem watch over Sholom Mordechai.

Please continue to daven for Reb Shalom Mordechai ben Rivkah.

Ben Zakkai member (and former NCSY national Vice President) Meira Bressler (mother is the former Eva (Gail) Weisel from West Coast) was diagnosed with Cancer last week. She is 27 years old, married to an amazing man, and has an adorable toddler daughter. If all my friends could PLEASE daven (pray) and say Tehillim (Psalms), or give Tzedaka (charity) in her name, it would mean the world to all of our family. Her Hebrew name is Meira Mindle bas Chava Golda.

If you would like, below is a link to sign up to say a few perakim of tehillim daily so we can complete sefer tehillim (at least once) each day. Thank you so much.

From an Aneinu Member about her cousin's granddaughter:

Yardena (Kopps) Bannett had a baby girl last week who has a
congenital heart defect- the baby underwent open heart surgery early
this morning and there were some complications and the doctors are
having trouble keeping the baby stable. The Bannetts, needless to say,
are not holding up very well and hope that anyone can say some
Tehillim as soon as possible. The next few hours are critical as are
the next 24-48 hours in this little baby's life.

Please say Tehillim for Shalva Yakira bas Yardena Meira.

You can also sign up for designated daily prakim at
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aoi5ZIs5QLG4dDNWaU9IN0x5UGJqMG1Qdi1qVXVqZ0E&hl=en.

You don't have to commit to so much Tehillim because then it gets hard
to say it. Some prakim for Rachmei Shamayim are 87, 98, 107.
