There are judges and lawyers both in secular and religious courts who ignored the facts so as to curry favor with the more prominent party in a financial or custody dispute. They frame their actions as being halachically justifiable.

The teacher was so distraught and horrified, both by the murder and his undeniable failure to get through to his students, that he packed up and left.
I love them all and they are all winners, but if you ask me for my favorite, I will have to go with our simple elastic headbands. They are so simple, yet different, and are flying off the shelves.

I design the same way songwriters write songs about their current mood. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life.
When I first started I had no idea how hard it would be. I have been working in the mortgage industry for 30 years, helping others get their dream homes while simultaneously starting up this business.
