Shalom,
I have a question if anyone has more information or experience about this. As you know it is a obligation for every jewish men to learn everyday Torah. My husband has a very good relation to our Rabbi who made him the following offer.
As my husband is not abel to learn everyday he offer him to learn everday 1 hour Torah for him and my husband should pay him a certain amount money.So my husband would fullfil his obligation to learn Torah.
He said this situation is common or was in the past Issachar was learning for Zevulun who was a businessman and had no time for learning.
It counts as he would learn Torah. This situation is also described in the Kitzur Schulchan Aruch Book 1 § 27 Hilchot Talmid Torah and also in the Mishna Zevachim !

Does anyone has further information about this or any experience regarding this topic.
Thank you

hope you don't mind, I changed some spelling - mod.

It is indeed a wonderful thing to have a Yissocher-Zevulun relationship. What I'm wondering is, can the rabbi learn WITH your husband for an hour a day or a few times a week?
