SJSinNYC, Chachazokas ha’Torah is providing financial support for Talmud Torah. In an Issochar/Zevulun arrangement (which is a type of chachazokas ha’Torah), Zevulun gives 50% of his income to Issochar and gets 50% of his zechus of Talmud Torah. If one gives something to suppport learning, one gets a big mitsva, but not 50% of the zechus.
