Question
I received a sum of money in dollars, and I have no intention of using it at the moment. Should I give maaser now (according to the current exchange rate) or only when I convert it to shekels?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
If you do not plan to use this money until you convert it into shekels, you are permitted to wait with giving maaser until the time of conversion. However, you may also separate maaser from the amount already now.
