Rabbi Nahum Nosvacher Explains Tithing Rules on Gifts and Inheritances

Rabbi Nahum Nosvacher, head of the Shaar HaTalmud Yeshiva, addressed a common halachic question in a new segment on Kikar HaShabbat called "A Minute from the House of Learning." Drawing on the rulings of Rabbi Amram Fried, he discussed whether one must separate maaser kesafim (charitable tithing) from monetary gifts and inheritances.

In the brief video segment, Rabbi Nosvacher clarified the obligations regarding maaser kesafim, providing guidance for those uncertain about how to handle tithing on these types of income. He also shared his personal phone number with yeshiva students, encouraging them to reach out if they encounter difficulties or have questions.

The segment is part of a daily halachic series, and viewers interested in related topics can find previous discussions, such as the permissibility of purchasing lottery tickets or investments with maaser funds. The video was published on July 8, 2026, by Kobi Israel on Kikar HaShabbat.

This educational initiative aims to provide accessible halachic guidance on practical financial and religious matters, helping observant Jews navigate complex issues like tithing on non-traditional income sources.
