Question

Shalom.

Question: A teacher damaged the pen of one of the children and does not know whose it is. What should she do?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.

She should give something to the class from which everyone can benefit, equal in value to the pen; and if the pen belongs to the parents, she should give to a more general cause such as Ezer Mizion, etc., from which everyone benefits.
