Maaser Questions
Rabbi Dan Roth sat down with Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits, president of Torah Live and rosh yeshiva of the Jerusalem Kollel, to discuss your burning questions about maaser kesafim. We all know you should give charity, but what is the reason behind economic inequality? Why are some people richer and some poorer?
Which Situations Require Maaser Money
Rabbi Berkovits also answers questions on the halachos of tzedakah, such as: Can you give maaser money during davening? Do you need to give maaser when you sell an apartment? If you support your children, does that count as maaser? Do you need to give maaser on the money you get back from taxes?
Get answers to these and many more questions in this series of short videos.
