LEARNING NEVER ENDS
The mitzvah of hachzakas Torah (supporting Torah learning) is independent of our general obligation of giving tz’daka (charity). It is greater than any other form of tz’daka and includes supporting even a wealthy talmid chacham (Torah scholar) so they can learn with peace of mind free of financial worry. In addition to monetary support, the mitzvah includes providing them with food, coffee, electricity, s’farim (holy books) and any assistance their families may need. Even though charitable giving is usually capped at twenty percent of a person’s earnings, the amount of money contributed to the cause of hachzakas Torah is not restricted.
