Rabbi Nahum Nosbach Explains Tithing Rules for Salary and Rent Assistance

Rabbi Nahum Nosbach, a leading figure at the Shaar HaTalmud Yeshiva, presents a new halachic segment on the Kikar HaShabbat platform titled "A Minute from the House of Torah." Drawing on the rulings of Rabbi Amram Fried, Rabbi Nosbach addresses the question of whether one must give tithes (maaser) from salary slips or from financial assistance received for rent payments.

This daily halachic feature aims to clarify practical Jewish law issues, with this particular episode focusing on the obligation to tithe money earned or received through various means. The discussion is relevant for those who receive income either as wages or as housing subsidies, exploring how these funds are treated under Jewish law regarding tithing.

The segment is part of a broader series that also covers other halachic topics, such as the permissibility of having a child operate a light switch on Shabbat to turn on a light that was turned off. Rabbi Nosbach’s teachings provide accessible guidance for contemporary religious questions based on traditional rulings.

The video segment is available for viewing on Kikar HaShabbat, offering practical halachic insights for the observant community.
