Ahavas Chessed / Ch. 20 – 153

Our Sages said, ‘One should not spend more than a fifth of his wealth on charity’, but this refers only to feeding the needy. Regarding supporting Torah the early authorities rule that one can spend more, since it is considered as if he ‘bought’ himself Torah, not as giving away money to others. When a person comes to collect money for Torah, one should greet him as one greets his business partner and not just throw him some coins, for the way a person behaves to others, that is how he will be treated in the next world.

 

“And the utterly undoubtable truth is that if the entire world, from one end to the other, would be absent of our engagement and delving into the Torah, even for one moment, literally, then all the worlds - both upper and lower - would be destroyed instantly, and would turn into utter chaos, chas v’shalom…” (Nefesh Hachaim)
