Question

Shalom Rav,

How much money is appropriate or required to give for Kimcha DePischa (charity for Pesach)?
And is it sufficient for the father to give one amount on behalf of all family members, or does each member of the family have to give separately? And if it must be given separately – can the father give on their behalf, or does each person need to give it personally?

Answer

Shalom uVracha 

The obligation rests on each household, not on each individual person.
