Description

Rabbi Yosef Kushner returns to the Kosher Money podcast to discuss Maaser, the charitable act of giving away 10% of your earnings to charity. Is it a biblical commandment? Where did this custom come from? What are the benefits? Can one give away more than 10%? Those questions and more were discussed in an action-packed episode. Oh, Rabbi Kushner has an amazing book named Commerce & Shabbos, which is available for purchase here: https://amzn.to/3jJCeblHave a Q for the Rabbi?
