Supporting Torah learning is not merely giving to a good cause or doing a good deed, rather, it is more profound. Fundamentally, the Torah is the communication of the Will and Wisdom of Hashem to this world. The learning at “Torah-24” embodies the delving into the Torah and understanding the will of Hashem as expressed in the mitzvos and all the associated implications and nuances.

     Further, Torah is the inheritance of the entire Jewish people – men, women and children. Unfortunately, too many people do not have the time or the skills to read and analyze Torah and all its wisdom, let alone delve into its depths and profundities. However, our tradition allows for our fellow Jews to be considered as equal partners of the Torah scholars’ study by supporting their efforts.

     This was epitomized by the relationship between two of Yaakov Avinu’s 12 sons (later the tribes of Israel). Zevulun, a merchant, supported his brother Yissachar, who dedicated his time to study Torah, and was considered a full partner.

The Halacha
     The Shulchan Aruch in Yoreh De’ah #246, addresses the efficacy of a Yissachar-Zevulun Pact and states: It is considered as if the one supporting the learning has also learned all the Torah studied. Thus, those who support the “Torah-24” Talmidei Chachomim, merit a portion in the Torah that they study.

A Yissachar-Zevulun Pact
Every person who financially supports scholars in their study of Torah, and does so in the form of a Yissachar-Zevulun partnership, acquires an equal share of that study. It is their mitzvah for this life and beyond.

Array of Learning
     At “Torah-24”, due to the vast array of study: Talmud Bavli and Yerushalmi, Mishna, Rambam, Dalet Chelkei Shulcha Aruch, Zohar, Zeraim – Taharos, Medrash etc. – there are many sponsorship opportunities as identified below, as well as learning on particular days.
