Question
Hello, I have a few questions: 1. Someone gave us a sum of money as a gift for the birth. We want to use the money for the brit, with God's help. Do we need to tithe this money? (since it's for a mitzvah use) 2. In the past, I ran a children's camp. After the camp, there were a few small items left that no one came to claim. So I threw these items away. Is this considered theft? And how can it be rectified? (I don't remember who the children in the camp were) 3. A few years ago, I did graphic work for a client. He asked me to issue him a receipt. To this day, I haven't managed to issue this receipt. And he hasn't asked for it again. Do I need to ensure he receives a receipt? Thank you very much!!
Answer
Shalom and blessings
1. Since the money is given for birth expenses, there is no need to tithe.
2. If these are small items that people do not come to look for, and time has passed before you threw them away, there is no need to return them.
3. Usually, after the end of the calendar year, there is no need for this. If he asks again, provide it for him.
