Question

I am an avrech and receive a stipend from the kollel. Am I obligated to give tithes to the kollel I am part of due to gratitude or any other reason? Does this take precedence over other obligations such as needy parents and poor family members? Is there a difference between tithes from the kollel stipend and my wife's salary?

Answer

Shalom Rav

From your wife's salary, give to relatives. From the kollel stipend, if the kollel requires it, it is good to give to them. In any case, give the kollel half of the tithe from the stipend, due to gratitude.
