Dear Rabbi:

I have an elementary age son who’s obese. He doesn’t enjoy being active. Instead of going outside for recess, the rebbe tells me that he stays indoors, regardless of the weather.

Before putting up a for sale sign in your front yard, it is advisable to take the necessary steps in getting the house ready for sale. This generally does not necessitate a complete remodeling project, but rather involves taking care of need- based repairs, such as replacing a leaky faucet or a cracked door hinge. Although they are minor improvements they can significantly add to the overall condition of the house. Taking care of these low-cost repairs has the potential to add equity value to the house and initiate positive feedback from buyers. 

“Judges and officers shall you appoint in all your cities -which Hashem, your G-d, gives you-for your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.”
