Maaser Kesafim: Giving a Tenth to Charity | Domb, Cyril (editor) | Halacha | Feldheim | 1999 | From times of old it has been an honored Jewish practice to give maaser,
a tenth of our earnings to tzedaka, charity. Yet a great many questions
arise when we proceed to fulfill the mitzva. For example: how is
income defined? Are capital receipts subject to the obligation of maaser? If
they are, how should indivisible assets be dealt with? Is there a
specific "tax year"? What expenses are allowed? How is capital
investment to be dealt with? How are charities defined, and is there an order of
priorities in the matter? To find answers, a research team of the
British Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists made a careful study of the
Shulchan Aruch and the responsa literature. Where no clear-cut
answers could be found, the next step was to turn to the great Torah
authorities of our day. This book is a record of the results of their
investigations.
