Question
The synagogue's gabbai agreed with me to read the Torah on Shabbat for a certain amount. I prepared the reading and came to pray there, but because the air conditioner in the synagogue was not working, the minyan joined the nearby minyan (two apartments opposite each other) where they had their baal kore who read the Torah. Are they obligated to pay me, and how much? Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom Rav
They are obligated to pay you the full amount.
Because you have fulfilled your part.
