Sure.
Purpose came to mind in the moment, benefit captures the idea more.

Toeles
Toy-eh-less
adjective

1) Meets an individual's personal agenda
"My post that @Something Fishy is a liar and a cheat was not gossip, it was l'toeles; so that no one goes on his trips. It had nothing to do with my ongoing feud with his mother in law."

Rebuke
Should have posted the context: If you want to see the greatness of yid- see how he is after he went through a Toichocho.

Still rebuke or something more descriptive?
