Question
A group of girls was responsible for organizing an event with financial participation from everyone. Two of the girls decided on an expenditure of 200 shekels, which was ultimately not used due to time constraints. It later became clear that many of the girls would not have agreed to pay for this in advance and did not think it was necessary. It was not agreed in advance that everything would be decided unanimously, nor was it agreed that everyone should be asked in advance. Is it permissible to collect the money from everyone? In other words, to include the 200 shekels in all other expenses?
Answer
Response of the Dayanim of the Beit Hora'ah:
If it was agreed that all decisions would be made by the responsible parties, then payment is required.
If not, it is necessary to clarify the nature of the expenditure; if it was not essential, it cannot be demanded from all the girls.
