Halakhic priciples by Harav Efrati
In our times, Halakhic authorities have outlined the following principles regarding the Issachar-Zevulun agreement:
  1. It is still possible to establish such an agreement today. However, the reward can only be allocated for future Torah study and not for what has already been learned (Rema, Yoreh De'ah 170).
  2. Even after forming the agreement, individuals engaged in work must still set aside time for their own Torah study and not rely solely on the agreement.
  3. Some authorities say that after the agreement, the craftsman's heavenly reward is equal to that of the Torah scholar (A.G.M. in the opinion of the Rema), while others believe that the Torah scholar still receives a higher reward (Netziv in "Mishpatim").
  4. Most authorities agree that this agreement is proper and good from the outset (Yabia Omer, Vol. 7; Chazon Ish, Igrot, Letter 49).
May this project bring abundant blessings and success, strengthen Torah study in every place, and grant all who support it spiritual and material prosperity, protection, and defense for all their household members. May they be wise and succeed in all their endeavors, and may God bless the work of their hands.
