Question
I wanted to ask about tithes. I am a single woman in the matchmaking process. I give my tithes to my father/brothers who are yeshiva students. I wanted to ask what takes precedence: donations to organizations like Bonei Olam to fund treatments for childless couples as a blessing to get married (I donate for a treatment, and they pray for me to find a suitable match) or to continue donating to my father and brothers? I should note that my desire is more to donate to my family...
Answer
Hello,
It is preferable to give to your father and brothers.
This also contains all the blessings of charity.
