THE STONE OF SCHOLARS

The tribe of Issachar is revered in Jewish lore as fervent Biblical scholars. According to ancient tradition, Issachar (the 5th son of Jacob) had an exclusive partnership with his younger brother Zebulun; The tribe of Zebulun partook in business in order to financially support the tribe of Issachar, whereas the tribe of Issachar would toil in spiritual study in order to spiritually support the tribe of Zebulun.
