Question
Hello and blessings! I would like to ask about the laws of tithing. I have a family with children in yeshivas, cheders, and seminaries, and in addition, two daughters have married, thank God. The debts are heavy, and already at the beginning of the month, most of the funds go towards debt repayment, tuition, and ongoing expenses. Every month ends in a deficit. How should I conduct myself regarding the laws of tithing? Best regards, Yehuda
Answer
Hello
One who does not have enough for their sustenance is not obligated to give tithes.
