FAQ

Who should pay Maaser?
Anyone who wishes to progress in spirituality must pay Maaser.

Which part is given as Maaser?
Maaser is 10% of one's net income, after tax deduction.

Where does the money from the Maaser go?
The money from the Maaser is used solely for the benefit of humanity, for the correction of the world—to spread the wisdom of Kabbalah among all people.

Does a woman have to pay Maaser?
Every person allocates Maaser for himself. Thus, a woman with her own income should also pay Maaser. The only case a woman is exempted from this obligation is when her husband opposes her study of Kabbalah and paying Maaser may put the family unit at risk.

I would like to pay Maaser, but I cannot come to the Bnei Baruch center. What do you advise me to do?
In most cases we advise our students who cannot come to the center to buy newspapers and books for the sum of the Maaser, in order to start a small library. They can read the books with their friends and give out the newspapers. In this manner a student realizes his Maaser in practice. In addition, Maaser can be sent to Bnei Baruch center as a donation for a certain project.

How can a person's Maaser be measured if he/she studies and takes part in circulation, but is not a member of the internal group, and his only income is from his/her spouse who does not study the wisdom of Kabbalah?
Such a person can pay Maaser only if his/her spouse fully and willingly consents to this, and even then not more than 5% of the income.

Can a person who makes a living and his/her spouse does not study or support his/her dealing with the wisdom of Kabbalah pay Maaser without letting their spouse know about it?
If such things are not accepted in your family, then certainly not. There are families in which each member uses his own share, except for the shared income. There are families in which each member receives part of the shared budget for personal expenses. In both cases you can do with the money whatever you wish. But taking from the shared budget without the consent of the other party is absolutely forbidden.

Can a person give Maaser of more than 10%?
It is possible to donate more than 10%, but this is no longer called "Maaser" but a "trumah" (a donation).
