Question

A kollel student who feels that he is very much in need of a vacation – is he allowed to pay for it from maaser funds?
Thank you very much

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.

One may not use maaser money for one’s own needs.

He can ask another kollel avrech to give him his maaser money for the things he needs [not imaginary “needs”, but a true need].
