<P></U><FONT face=Arial>A (too often?) heard response to a call for "volunteers" 


for community activities is "it can be done by others" so I shouldn&#8217;t give up my 


learning time.</FONT></P>


<P><FONT face=Arial>1. Does a ben yeshiva or a baal habayit who takes learning 


seriously and understands that "spare time" is learning time (to the extent 


possible) have a permanent pass from these activities as long as there are 


others who don&#8217;t have the same view?</FONT></P>


<P><FONT face=Arial>2. Assuming such an individual has unique skills such that 


the activity cannot be done by others, is the schar they receive for that 


activity equal to that which they would have received for learning or is it less 


but they still have to do it?</FONT></P>
