[Avodah] Are Mitzvos Fungible

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi via Avodah]

Obviously, and in spite of all the stories of people selling their Olam Haba
it is a nonsense - good and evil deeds cannot be redeemed or transferred by
a financial transaction or any agreement

HOWEVER
if anyone is inspired to do a good [or evil] deed or desist doing an evil
[or good] deed
because of another persons influence
clearly that influencing person is rewarded accordingly

and so when we learn Torah
or do any other other Mitzvah
and we are inspired to do it because of an  institution or a person
be they in Olam HaEmes or in this world

a Zechis accrues for that person


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
