Buying honors for Talmud folios
Question
In some synagogues on Simchas Torah they sell honors (such as being called up for a Torah reading) for a commitment to learn a number of folios of Talmud. After I bought such an honor in one synagogue for a certain number of folios, can I use the commitment to learn these same folios to buy an honor in another synagogue?
Answer
No. The reason is that the one selling those honors doesn’t agree to that. His intention is to cause people to learn more Talmudic folios because of this auction.
