Question
Is it permissible for an avrech to study one seder for himself and take the stipend from the tithes he needs to allocate?
Answer
It is forbidden (just as it is forbidden to buy tefillin and etrog for oneself from tithes), but one can agree with a friend that each will study and give the other his tithes.
