The advantage of the Am Haaretz
The
Chasam Sofer( Parshas Emor) writes:
” The Am
Haaretz who supports Torah has an advantage over the Talmid Chacham
who learns. When he supports Torah he is rewarded even if the
Talmid Chacham is negligent and is not learning, what should he have
done and why should he lose out".
The
Netziv said Pshat on the Pasuk שלום רב לאהבי תורתיך- ואין למו מכשול
Ohavei
Toirosecho refers to the supporters of Torah. On them, it is said Ein Lomo
Michshol. For them, things can’t go wrong. They will be
rewarded regardless if the Talmidei Chachamim learn or not.
The
Chasam Sofer’s Sevara (logic) would probably apply also to the wives
who
send their husbands to learn and wait at home for them. They too should
be
rewarded even if their husbands go to the Bais Hamedrash and Batel
(waste) their time
there
"The Netziv said Pshat on the Pasuk..."

Instead of saying: "advantage of the Am Haaretz" it would be more accurate to say: "advantage of the donor".
