Two questions

שו”תCategory: HalachaTwo questions
asked 10 months ago

 
1. I am currently in a place with a 6-hour time difference from Israel.
When it’s 1:00 PM for me, it’s 7:00 PM for you.
And I’m flying tomorrow at 5:00 PM, but when I land home it will already be 8:00 AM the next morning.
So I’ll miss tomorrow’s Hanukkah candle lighting.
Can I, for example, appoint a messenger to turn on the light for me, but when I turn on the light in Israel at night, say at 7:00 PM, it will still be 1:00 PM, that is, the day before?
 
 
 
2. I subscribed to somewhere for 100 NIS per month.
After three months I wanted to cancel the subscription.
The representative there told me that this was not possible because it was a subscription with a commitment.
Without obligation, the price is 200 NIS per month.
I’m almost certain, I have a slight doubt but I’m almost certain, that the representative didn’t tell me about this difference when I made the subscription. If he had told me, I would have chosen the 200 NIS option with no obligation.
Can I force them to cancel my subscription, or am I obligated to continue paying the subscription for the 12-month commitment, since I have already started paying it under these terms?
 
 
May there be good news.

1. You need to light a fire in your house, so a mission won’t help. In my opinion, you are exempt. I found a question like this here: https://www.dirshu.co.il/%D7%9E%D7%99-%D7%A9%D7%98%D7%A1-%D7%91%D7%9E%D7%98%D7%95%D7%A1-%D7%91%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%9A-%D7%9B%D7%9C-%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%94-%D7%94%D7%90%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%95-%D7%9C%D7%94/?srsltid=AfmBOoqOUV3bMTDUIKqKlkqdIW8QJkYfK279WJjmuAQPWUgouYePJ_rO 2. If you are not sure then in my opinion you cannot. The issuer has the proof. In any case, if you cancel, you would have to pay 200 for each month you used.

If I was sure the representative wouldn't let me know, could I cancel? Apparently it's a mistake. He wouldn't let me know about this commitment, right?

I think so.
