I don't think the gemara in K'subos (63a) says that R' Akiva gave Ben Azzai money, but even if he did, I assume he would not have done more than Ben Kalba Savua', who gave R' Akiva half of his own money. Still, the kollel idea does give an exiting twist to the story, and may have the makings of a good joke. | |

| Jan 11, 2015 at 8:35 | comment | added | Shalom | @Fred there's also the Gemara in ... Kesubos? that he gave Ben Azzai a tidy sum to marry his daughter (and Tosfos says Ben Azzai broke the "engagement" because he couldn't stand the break in concentration from Torah learning.) I wonder if Rabbi Akiva got a dime back from Ben Azzai? | |
