One for the Price of Two
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I study in a kollel, and the kollel has a promotion: anyone who studies for 3 hours on Friday in any synagogue gets 100 shekels.
Until now I studied by myself in the synagogue and received my stipend.
Today I saw that there is a kollel that studies for 2 hours. The question is whether I can join that kollel and get paid from both places???
Answer
If it’s during the same hours, then no. The purpose of the stipend is to add study hours, not just to hand out money.
