Question
Hello, I am a secular person with a certain connection to religion. For some time now, I have wanted to start tithing, but I am unsure to which institution. I follow a non-profit socio-economic organization that works for the general public in the Knesset and the government. Is donating to this organization, whose work I believe in for the public in Israel, considered a worthy and kosher tithe?
Answer
Hello and blessings
If the organization is involved in charity or public benefit, it is considered charity.
Sometimes organizations are involved in 'public good' in matters that are not public needs, but rather the promotion of certain life agendas, according to the views of the foundation's owners. Of course, not everything like this will be considered 'charity'.
