Question
Hello Rabbi, Is there a reward for steps for those traveling by car to Meron? [And what is the source] Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
The question is divided into two parts. Regarding the reward for steps for those traveling by car, Ben Ish Chai elaborates on this in the book "Torah Lishma." His conclusion is that there is no reward for steps when traveling by car.
Regarding whether there is a reward for steps for those walking to Meron, the Gemara mentions "reward for steps" in the context of walking to the synagogue to pray. However, in the words of the Sages, a reward for steps is also found for other commandments. See sources.
