Question
I run a family daycare
In the regulations sheet at the beginning of the year I wrote a commitment for 12 months, and anyone who leaves in the middle of the year, even due to ones (unavoidable circumstances), must give one month’s notice in advance.
In the month of Iyar, one of the parents informed me that since he went in to his Rebbe to receive his blessing on the occasion of his son’s chalaka, the Rebbe instructed him to enroll his son in a cheder (Talmud Torah school).
He enrolled his son in accordance with his rabbi’s instruction
and paid until the end of the month.
The question: Is this considered ones?
And if so, can he be required to pay for the following month until a replacement comes?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha
If this is the Rebbe’s standing instruction, it is not considered ones.
The parent should have known in advance that this is the Rebbe’s instruction.
