The Messiah on the Road: What is the connection between Walt and Chabad? | Israel Today

2021-10-28T18:56:16.053Z


The largest companies in the world try to avoid appointing couriers, and sever any connection between employee and employer • This is because while courier is a top value and important in the existence of a reformed company but there are also disadvantages Chabad World's World Summit in New York


The Walt company, which is known for making fast food accessible to its customers, enjoys increased demand during the Corona period, and operates its thousands of couriers, on various means of transportation.

But unlike regular employees the company refused to insure them, even though by law, a workplace must insure its employees.

The reason for this: the company does not define the apostles as its employees.

In light of this, the question arises as to the definition of mission and what responsibility rests on the shoulders of the messenger and the sender.

Such questions now frequently arise, in light of employers' relentless attempt to sever business and employer-employee relationships with their service providers.

This makes it financially easier for them to conduct the company, and frees the "employers" from a binding and long-term relationship with the employees, which embodies social and insurance rights.

This approach, by the way, which disconnects or reduces the economic consequences between an employee and an employer, has brought countries like Switzerland to an unemployment rate of three percent - one of the lowest in the world.

The value of missions has many legal and value biases - some will say that mission is related to total commitment, some will say that mission is leadership, but more than any mission is a task done by another person who sent you to do them and for him.

The mission is a supreme and important value in the existence of a reformed society, but there are also disadvantages to this value, since deviating from the outline can impose damages and financial responsibility on the person who carries out this mission, since from this moment he is no longer defined as a messenger.

Imagine a subway driver who decides for himself to change the route of the train to a more profitable place.

Even if he increases the income to the company he will be fired immediately.

If so, a successful mission does not mean increasing revenue precisely, but realizing the task as it is.

In Jewish law as well as in the laws of international law there are clear differences between a representative of a company or a person and his emissary:

A representative is a person who can buy usage rights in the name of a worldwide business, the representative will have a duty and responsibility to provide proper service and representation to a global company, but the actual company is the responsibility and business and legal ownership of the representative.

He will usually be able to define the target audience, choose the nature of the product mix he is marketing and change the market segments and the target audience as he pleases.

At the moment of the mission, the messenger ostensibly loses his personal and personal identity, and anything he does will seem to have been done by the sender himself. And as the Gemara in the Babylonian Talmud defines it, "the messenger of a man like him." For example, in the past, when marriages with spouses overseas were complicated, the groom's messenger could consecrate a wife for him, after she had of course agreed to marry him. Although the apostle and not the woman's future spouse will attend the consecration ceremony.

The ‘law of mission’ in civil law raises many questions about the apostle’s ability to be emotionally detached from the process and to be solely the long arm of the one who was sent.

Thus, retired Supreme Court President Professor Aharon Barak wrote in his article on the Shlichot Law: D) Activates his own will, which is different from the sender's will and may, at times, be contrary to it.

In the component of the mission there are binding rules, such as the inability to represent wrongful and unworthy acts - "there is no messenger to speak offense" for in this way the messenger alone will bear full responsibility for his actions.

The early Babylonian Talmudic commentators wondered how far the method and ability to appoint a person in your place extended, who represented you from a state of mission as if you yourself had done the deed.

For it is clear that we cannot ask a messenger to put on tefillin or perform mitzvos for another, in light of this the mission was defined for anything in which the other is not bound by his body.

Such a thing would have to be done by the individual himself.

But as long as this can be done by a messenger the rule of a messenger of a man like him will apply.

Another difference between representation law and mission law, both at the legal and halakhic level, is the principled ability (except as otherwise defined by the sender) of the messenger to appoint a messenger under him to carry out the mission - 'a messenger makes a messenger'.

Take for example a young couple who have just married, looking for a place to live where they can exercise their family qualities. Apparently this is a classic story, but as close observant matzahs ​​and Chabad followers, who conducted the mission before their eyes, the couple did not look for a place where there are organized educational institutions for their children, kosher supermarkets, neighbors similar in their view and spirit, friends who can play with them, etc. For them, finding a place where the disadvantage stands out religiously, spiritually and educationally - and the more they lack issues related to Judaism, the better. For, according to them, "this is the purpose of the mission."

These spouses, who grew up in homes where nothing was missing, found their place on a preliminary tour of a distant and remote country where anti-Semitism was rampant at the time.

Not so, during their visit the last Jewish architectural relic of the city - the synagogue, which had been desolate and abandoned for some time, was burned by a gang of reckless.

But the fire that burned the abandoned and spicy walls of the synagogue also managed to ignite the spark of mission in the eyes of the couple, who ended up saying to settle right here.

In contrast to the "relocations" we know, whose time is limited to a pre-determined period, and the financing and sending party undertakes to bear all the associated expenses beyond a decent salary, in this case the young couple should build an independent economic plan when the mission period is defined one"

Today, after about twenty years in place of their mission, Jewish educational institutions have established hundreds of children, a resurrected Jewish community, and many who are proud of their Judaism and even settle in Israel.

This is the story of another couple of Chabad emissaries who are at almost every point around the globe and are currently gathering in New York for the World Apostolic Conference, a unique gathering that brings together in one place more than 50,000 emissaries behind each of them a large family helping with missionary challenges.

Their challenging role is expressed in one word that defines everything - "apostles", whose whole desire and fulfillment is to be faithful apostles to illuminate the Jewish world.

Rabbi Shraga Natan Dahan is an officer in the Mill, holds a master's degree in technology and is certified as a rabbi and judge.

Serves as a consultant and lecturer in public, security, educational and scientific bodies on the subject of halakhah, technology, medicine, science and space.
