Maaser: A Tenth and No More
Question: Does paying Maaser (tithing) help in advancing toward holiness?
Answer: Paying Maaser is necessary; otherwise, you will not have entry into the spiritual realm. My teacher Rabash did not allow those who were late in paying Maaser to attend classes.
Maaser is a very serious thing: a tenth of our income. It is this that helps us climb up the spiritual ladder. So take this into account.
Question: If I start paying Maaser now, do I have to pay Maaser for the years that I was in Bnei Baruch and did not pay?
Answer: You will have to do this. Maaser is the most important thing in our connection because this money represents a spiritual tithe. Very often people ask me if it is possible to pay more. No, you must pay exactly ten percent, as it says in the Torah: a tenth and no more.
Question: Do I need to know if my friends in the ten are paying Maaser, or should I be sure by faith above reason that they are?
Answer: Everyone in the ten should know this because you are advancing both personally and in the ten. Therefore, your advancement depends on the general payment of Maaser.
