How can you have a share in someone else's Torah?

Why do we give charity when praying for the sick?

What is a gemach?

"Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense?  Who plants a vineyard, and does not eat the fruit of it?  Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?  I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I?  Or does not the Torah also say these things?  For it is written in the Torah of Moses, “YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING.”  G-d is not concerned about only oxen, is He?  Or is He speaking altogether for our sake?  Yes, for our sake it was written, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing the crops.  If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we should reap material things from you?  If others share the right over you, do we not more?  Nevertheless, we never used this right, but we endured all things, so that we would cause no hindrance to the good news of Messiah.  Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share with the altar?  So also the L-rd directed those who proclaim the good news to get their living from the good news."

— 1 Corinthians 9:7-14
