DaasYochid -“I don’t understand how you counter the point that support for Torah comes before poor people with the fact that giving to a shul takes precedence over giving to poor people.”
I was just quoting the Mechaber in a transliteration.
“As to which takes precedence, adult Torah scholars or children’s Torah, it’s a machlokes, and it depends on multiple factors. See this article, footnote 6, for some sources.”
The only one that the Mechaber mentions is children learning. If you have a source stating that adult learning is more important than Tzedaka – please cite the source.
“Please inform if you know of anyone who argues on the general precedence of Torah support over most other forms of tzeddakah.”
I did. You obviously missed that in my post. I’ll repeat. The Gr’a and other Achronim in the Nosei Kelim on the S’A – seem to hold that Torah learning does Not take precedence over Tzedaka.
