Question

According to the Gaon, from every profit one should give Chomesh. Should Chomesh be given from the inside or the outside? I would appreciate an example. I earned 50 shekels, how much should I allocate to charity?

Answer

Hello,
the calculation is to allocate one or two tenths from the ten.
That is, someone who earned ten shekels should give 1 shekel for Ma'aser, and if they wish, they can allocate another 1 shekel for Chomesh.
