Yoreh De’ah 253:8-255:2. Tzedakah: Who Should Receive Charity, Non-Jewish Funds, Not Accepting Charity · SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day!

• 0:00
  OK, we're continuing Hilka sedaka resh nun gimel with si EF
• 0:05
  khat anishinatan pruta nisdaka macabwe me menu.
• 0:11
  So Anani, who comes to give you a pruta, a very small amount of
• 0:16
  money, 2550 aggro $0.10, whatever it is.
• 0:23
  Here we go. Whatever that amount is, we take
• 0:26
  from him the EM Lunatan. If he doesn't give, we do not
• 0:34
  force him to give, not to know. If we give him brand new
• 0:43
  clothing and he gives us old clothing because he doesn't need
• 0:48
  it anymore, we take. We're taking from an honey who
• 0:53
  barely has or doesn't have any food to eat or barely has any
• 0:56
  food to eat. So we see we're allowed to take
• 0:59
  the the IM lo heksir in Makhayvi Noto and if he doesn't give it
• 1:06
  to us, then he's allowed to have his old and his new clothing.
• 1:10
  That was OK. That was when we gave it to him.
• 1:13
  There was no tonight that he has to now give away his old
• 1:17
  clothing. We did learn before that if an
• 1:21
  ani is that there are times that we do not take from an honey.
• 1:28
  So we if he needs it. So again, all depends on the
• 1:32
  case if he needs it. Here we're talking about a very
• 1:36
  small amount of pruta is not so significant.
• 1:40
  Exactly. And then what does it mean
• 1:42
  you're giving? What does it mean?
• 1:43
  You don't have to give or take from him.
• 1:46
  So it could just be read at face value and that's fine.
• 1:50
  But the Bach points out the reason everybody is Kayev to
• 1:56
  give Sidaka even and honey. So that's the Bach's approach.
• 2:01
  And therefore you have to give, let's say, a shushit of a Shaka,
• 2:07
  which we mentioned before. There's an absolute minimum that
• 2:09
  everybody must give even a poor person, you points out.
• 2:13
  But we're don't the the purpose of the the Salaka teaching.
• 2:17
  We don't we don't force it out of them and we don't know what
• 2:21
  money he needs this moment. But his point is he can just go
• 2:25
  give that money to another poor person and then that poor
• 2:28
  person, that poor person will give his sedaka to him.
• 2:31
  Basically trade around in order to be Makayam the mitzvah
• 2:35
  technically in in the Pasak, but the Makayam dasay don't have a
• 2:42
  problem with the love. But that's not the the gabba's
• 2:47
  position over here. And then then you don't have to
• 2:49
  worry about taking a pruta. Fine, let's the shock just
• 2:53
  points out we're talking even about a person who doesn't have
• 2:57
  enough money for himself. And to the shock points out of a
• 3:00
  person doesn't have enough money to feed himself, he's not hive
• 3:04
  to give because he has to 1st you first worry about yourself.
• 3:08
  Slight difference. And so therefore, that's the
• 3:11
  reason why we're not mchiving hotel.
• 3:14
  We don't force him to pay anyways.
• 3:16
  We're talking about a small amount that shouldn't shouldn't
• 3:20
  shouldn't starve him. OK, well, again, we don't take
• 3:22
  too much. Sometimes we run away from the
• 3:24
  anime, right? If they're giving us more than
• 3:26
  they can afford. OK, let's go to the next lock.
• 3:31
  Tet Ani Sheena Rosa lika Sedaka well Irene venotin MO la shame
• 3:38
  atana la shame Alva. If you know there's a person
• 3:42
  who's as poor, he can't afford food, he's starving, he's
• 3:47
  malnutrition, he's getting sick, he doesn't have basics, he's
• 3:52
  freezing and he can't pay for the electricity to warm him in
• 3:55
  the cold winter. So in these cases, we give it.
• 3:59
  We we we make sure we find a way to help the onion.
• 4:03
  You provide for him, we give him a gift.
• 4:07
  We tell him it's not Sedaka. You don't tell him.
• 4:09
  You don't mention the word Sedaka.
• 4:10
  You tell him it's a gift. You can tell him here's a loan.
• 4:14
  Pay me back when you have the money to make him feel good.
• 4:16
  You don't want to embarrass him. You don't want him to feel bad.
• 4:19
  It's not called. You make sure you don't tell him
• 4:21
  it's Sedaka. Fine, right.
• 4:25
  Sometime then obviously, if he's capable, you help him find a
• 4:27
  job. But that's the bigger picture.
• 4:29
  Good. Ashir Hamar Eve Atsma.
• 4:33
  So here we have a person who has money in the bank, the a note,
• 4:38
  Sarah, the mamono, but he's just very, very stingy with his own
• 4:42
  money. So you'll call me menu.
• 4:45
  He doesn't even want to buy his food.
• 4:48
  So the Allaha says aim mushkifin Bo.
• 4:53
  So we basically, we don't have to involve ourselves with this
• 4:58
  person. We don't have to take money from
• 5:00
  the seaboard to put money in this guy's hand to buy food.
• 5:05
  He has money. He has food if he wants.
• 5:08
  That's his problem. He's 100% capable.
• 5:12
  And the Arafa Shulkhan, just what the Arafa Shulkhan adds.
• 5:19
  If a person is he has money, but he's sick and he can't move and
• 5:24
  he's starving, so then you should go take care of him, feed
• 5:29
  him, go to the McCullough to go to the market and then whether
• 5:33
  he's looking or not looking to go take the sea where it takes
• 5:36
  money from him because it's just he can afford it.
• 5:39
  Doesn't You don't have to right now.
• 5:40
  You take care of him so he doesn't, you know, starve and
• 5:44
  and and pass off, pass away. But but then you send them a
• 5:48
  bill and you figure it out because really he can afford it.
• 5:52
  OK, I saw in the sake with Chuvos, he raises an interesting
• 5:56
  question. What happens again, I don't know
• 5:59
  if it's the same thing. The gamar's lashon is the Braisa
• 6:04
  Yehlow. He has money.
• 6:06
  So or he has, does that mean he physically has money in his
• 6:10
  pocket or does that mean he's able to work?
• 6:14
  He has. He can make minimum wage doing
• 6:16
  something minor. He has a profession, he has a
• 6:20
  degree, a license, whatever it is, and he can make a proper
• 6:23
  wage what whatever the situation is.
• 6:26
  Yeh Shlo, that may also be interpreted like that.
• 6:29
  So the Osaka Machuvos basically quotes from says from acronium
• 6:34
  and rishonium. I, I do not do any research on
• 6:37
  this, but he basically says a person who is capable of working
• 6:41
  and chooses not to work. Also, you don't have to worry
• 6:45
  about him, obviously, if he's starving this moment.
• 6:49
  So for this moment, I guess you give him maybe depends on how
• 6:53
  far you take it. But again, but that was the
• 6:57
  Boskin point. We're not talking about someone
• 6:59
  who's who's learning full time with the Yuri Shamayim and all
• 7:05
  ours. OK, That's not who we're talking
• 7:07
  about. Yudalov tell me hakam Kyavi
• 7:11
  matelo Lafique photo. So tell me hakam, we have to
• 7:16
  give him help support him in order so that he he's
• 7:19
  presentable according to his dignity.
• 7:23
  We him in or it's roads a la Cabo.
• 7:25
  If he doesn't want to accept money, he's asking lis hora Los
• 7:30
  Cora. So we help him make a business.
• 7:32
  He doesn't know how to we help him so that he can support
• 7:35
  himself, right? This is if he doesn't want to
• 7:36
  take Shakonim Los ahora bizzo. So, so this person doesn't want
• 7:40
  to take the salmah khatam. So you find a way so that he he
• 7:45
  feels like he's doing it himself.
• 7:47
  You go buy him merchandise for very cheap, the Konium Emmanuel
• 7:52
  Sikorato Bioke and then you or your friend when he's you go
• 7:56
  back to him and you buy it for more expensive than he bought a
• 8:00
  form. So you're making it easy for
• 8:02
  him, very easy for him to make an honest living a profit and
• 8:09
  but if he's able to make business on his own, Mauvin O
• 8:14
  maot we score by him. So then you give him some money,
• 8:19
  you give him a loan so that he could make some business on his
• 8:23
  own. You could go to his.
• 8:24
  Wife, perhaps, and she could run a business.
• 8:27
  So yeah, OK, you're just adding a wife is allowed to work and
• 8:30
  the wife is certainly allowed to support her husband if that's
• 8:34
  what they want. Some of the posts give me he
• 8:35
  brings him sucking with Chubos. If the husband has a problem and
• 8:39
  he can't work or he doesn't want to work or whatever his
• 8:41
  situation is and he's not providing for the family.
• 8:45
  Even in a case where we say, you know what, sorry, you have to
• 8:48
  take care of yourself. If the wife and kids can't take
• 8:52
  care of themselves, then you still have then the seaboards
• 8:56
  should help take care of or needs to help take care of the
• 8:59
  the wife and kids. It's not necessarily also what?
• 9:06
  Yeah, of course they're also. I need him in that case.
• 9:09
  So OK, let's go to your bed. Me Shanitzhak Labrio the shot
• 9:13
  Akhar Parnassa to Venat new load Sidaka.
• 9:18
  So the person he needs help is not doing well in business.
• 9:21
  He needs help. But Seaboard gives him Sidaka.
• 9:29
  So whatever he collected under the title of Sidaka.
• 9:33
  If a person is having trouble in business and he owes money from
• 9:40
  his business and now the the city of Sidaka gives him money
• 9:44
  to to live off of. They didn't give him money to
• 9:47
  pay back the loans. They gave him money to live off
• 9:50
  of the bare minimum effort Sidaka.
• 9:52
  So from that money, the his creditors, the people who is he
• 9:57
  owes money in business, they can't collect from this Sidaka.
• 10:00
  That's not what it was intended for.
• 10:02
  That's that's protected haggah in most shikata of the cubed.
• 10:07
  So shikhaya blah Kherin does not nullo adaita Dahaki Shishalim
• 10:17
  says he's got a lot of football if when he's collecting, he says
• 10:20
  I have big funders if he's collecting for in order to pay
• 10:24
  back his loans. So then the creditors are
• 10:28
  allowed to take from that money because that Sidaka was given
• 10:32
  for that. Whenever Sidaka's given 4,
• 10:35
  that's what it's can be used for.
• 10:37
  OK, in either direction. But yeah, very good.
• 10:40
  Simon Rish nun Dalek shaloh lakabel Sidaka Minha goin alaf
• 10:46
  ah. Surly Sir Ali told Sidaka Mina
• 10:47
  Goin, you have what? Akheri Nachheri.
• 10:52
  Oh, interesting. Not to get Sidaka from Akherian.
• 10:55
  OK, let's see how it reads inside.
• 10:57
  Surly Sir Ali told Sidaka Minha Goin, you have Goin over there.
• 11:03
  So it makes sense for the title to be but OK, so so one should
• 11:08
  not is not allowed to user to take from Sidaka from non Jews
• 11:12
  in public. In other words, where the non
• 11:14
  Jews are knowing are are seeing that you're taking from them.
• 11:21
  But if he's there's not enough Sidaka funds from the Jewish
• 11:26
  Sidaka fund and you have no choice.
• 11:28
  You're starving and you have to go to the goyish, the goyish
• 11:31
  fund, the Eno Yahoo, litla, miya goem butsina.
• 11:35
  And there's no way to take it from the goem quietly.
• 11:39
  So then I raise them mutter. So then it's mutter.
• 11:44
  I don't know. Taking from public government
• 11:46
  funds, people know about it. Is that called private or
• 11:49
  public? Let's see if it has a question
• 11:52
  and it's people know in general it's happening.
• 11:55
  No one knows who's who's taking, who's getting.
• 11:58
  No one sees it. Oh, Leo, when you're making Leo,
• 12:01
  there's some of these Christian organizations that are offering
• 12:04
  to help pay your transport. It's very interesting.
• 12:07
  So there's an issue around some Christian funds are the help in
• 12:12
  funding Jews move to Israel, you're saying?
• 12:15
  So that's probably OK for numerous reasons.
• 12:24
  Also, there's no Khil Hashem in this case, it's a hill Hashem
• 12:28
  when you are when there's Jews who should be supporting you and
• 12:35
  you're going to non Jews to collect.
• 12:37
  So that that looks bad. Looks like the Jews are not
• 12:39
  taking care of the Jews. But in that in the in the case
• 12:42
  where there's no hill Hashem, so then there there's there's no
• 12:46
  problem, OK. OK, bet Melek osar goy.
• 13:05
  OK, this is also related to your I have melek.
• 13:11
  You have a what? Sorry.
• 13:13
  Interesting. OK, so a king or a ruler non
• 13:18
  Jewish and he sends money to A to to to a Jew for Sidaka in
• 13:22
  massi Reno tomi shum Shalom malku ellenot nimi meno.
• 13:27
  So then don't give it back because he's going to get
• 13:30
  insulted. So that's going to be a design
• 13:33
  for him. However, Vianatin la Niigoyan,
• 13:39
  but you should take that money without him knowing to stay
• 13:42
  there quietly, right? And then give it to non Jewish
• 13:46
  poor people because you don't want the the king or the ruler
• 13:54
  or officer whatever to know about it.
• 13:56
  So that's why you do it quietly so he doesn't get insulted.
• 13:59
  And also one second here. Let's keep reading.
• 14:04
  Kaga the yeesh omrim, the assebahan mashhat Siva Aloha
• 14:09
  Moshe. And some say that no, you can do
• 14:14
  with them whatever he tells you to do.
• 14:17
  That's if he's giving it to you or sedaka Ava IME menadvine
• 14:26
  tavar. If they're giving it to you, not
• 14:31
  because they, you know, pity sedaka, they feel bad for you.
• 14:34
  They're giving it to you because they believe in your 'cause they
• 14:38
  want to give you a gift. So then they want they want to
• 14:41
  donate to the bait Knesset, then the Kabali mayhem.
• 14:44
  Then you do receive from them, right?
• 14:46
  There's no Khilashem. But in particular here, because
• 14:50
  we know when it comes to a bait Knesset, the we, we accept their
• 14:53
  carbonos as even more reason to to accept from them.
• 14:59
  Ava low mean on Mashuma. You don't take money from a
• 15:03
  Mashuma, someone who's anti anti Tara, a converted muma.
• 15:16
  So it's either a mashuma or a muma.
• 15:18
  OK. All right.
• 15:20
  Probably both. OK.
• 15:24
  Let's see. Oh, you say it only means
• 15:31
  someone became Christian? What if someone, maybe someone
• 15:34
  or persecutes religious people, maybe OK, even Mumar lahakis,
• 15:41
  you would think he can take probably you call it nuts.
• 15:44
  I don't know what what the shot. Oh, the shot says quotes them a
• 15:52
  bit. He says you do take from a
• 15:54
  Mumar. OK, it's a it's a Mahal because
• 15:59
  I believe. Anyway, on that point,
• 16:04
  definitely not Mummola Tiava. Mummola Tiava's a total Jew,
• 16:07
  gets all the rights, all the covert is the regular Jew.
• 16:13
  OK, but let's see anything we need to say.
• 16:19
  Let's go on Resh nun. Hey Laharakhrik MI kabolata al
• 16:24
  la right to distance yourself from from taking la Ola
• 16:29
  Miyarakhrik Adam Azmol me aztak. A person should always distance
• 16:34
  himself from taking from sidaka the gaggle atsumabitsar.
• 16:40
  He should live a difficult life where he should do what he needs
• 16:44
  to do even if he's suffering so that he doesn't have to take
• 16:48
  from others. And that's what Khazal also
• 16:53
  commanded. I say even don't have any
• 16:59
  special food on Shabbos, just eat like you normally do during
• 17:02
  the week. Very simple meal in order have
• 17:06
  two meals, maybe in order to avoid having to take from
• 17:12
  others. Even if he's what Han he became
• 17:22
  poor, wealthy, became poor yasat umanut he should find some way
• 17:30
  of working to make a living vafilu the Umanut valet, even if
• 17:35
  it's not a very honorable position, whatever that might
• 17:41
  be. The AL yitz terev le briot.
• 17:44
  OK, you want to say garbage man, janitor, maybe.
• 17:49
  I don't know, cleaning toilets, whatever you want, whatever is
• 17:54
  considered the Al Yusarak built and you should not collect from
• 17:58
  Sidak bet call me Shaynutsarek Lito me at Staka Umera Meh,
• 18:03
  Ambanotel. Any person who doesn't need to
• 18:05
  take from Sidaka, but he does take.
• 18:08
  He tells them all, I don't have any money and you go.
• 18:11
  So then again, it doesn't matter if you're going from door to
• 18:14
  door. It doesn't matter if you're
• 18:15
  going to the Koopa Sidaka organization.
• 18:19
  Either way you're at you're taking money that you don't need
• 18:23
  The no tell anal mate Archie's Terek Labriot.
• 18:27
  So there's a curse. He should he shouldn't die until
• 18:31
  he becomes needy. He should lose all his money and
• 18:34
  actually need to collect right. Anyone who goes from door to
• 18:38
  door, we're assuming he doesn't have basic necessities.
• 18:41
  That's what what's why they're giving.
• 18:43
  It's not a it's not a gift unless you tell them I have what
• 18:46
  to live off of. You call me Shitsarikh Lito, the
• 18:49
  Ano Yafo lithiot and anyone who needs to take he doesn't have
• 18:54
  what to live off of Ali Inkane. Ali Inkane, you told unless he
• 19:00
  unless they give him Kigon Zakim Ahola or Baliusurin.
• 19:06
  So here we kind of see what we mentioned before.
• 19:08
  He's an old man, He's not able to work, he's sick, he can't
• 19:11
  work or he's suffering with terrible problems and he's not
• 19:14
  able to work. That's not an explanation,
• 19:16
  that's an addition, but I'll get there in a second.
• 19:19
  But I don't think that's he's not saying that on Baliusurin
• 19:22
  Umagis daitel and he's making himself Hari the anal notel and
• 19:29
  he's he's he's desperate, but he he wants to make himself like he
• 19:32
  feels like he doesn't need and so he refuses to take hareze
• 19:36
  chauffeh Damim. This is like a murder umit hayeb
• 19:40
  bin afshow and he's hired for himself.
• 19:43
  If he passes away, the eyes of starvation, the Ain lo Bitzaro
• 19:46
  El Avanov Bachataim and you're not these are not you're not
• 19:49
  going to get rewarded for this for making yourself suffer this
• 19:53
  much. You're in fact you're getting
• 19:56
  Averos for this. You're going to get punished for
• 19:59
  it and I'll just here here's your shock in this list of
• 20:03
  people who need help, they're not able to it's also it
• 20:06
  includes a person who has the shock rights daughters.
• 20:10
  I guess it depends on your society if it's daughters or
• 20:12
  sons and how it works out when you marry off your children.
• 20:16
  But. He writes, if even if so, you
• 20:19
  have kids or or daughters who you can't get them married if
• 20:23
  you don't supply a certain amount of of money, whether it's
• 20:27
  the wedding or helping or whatever the society requires.
• 20:30
  We we learnt about renting an apartment.
• 20:33
  Does it mean also buying an apartment whatever's needed to
• 20:38
  marry off your daughters. So then it is also included in
• 20:43
  this category that a person should take 'cause otherwise his
• 20:47
  daughter will never get married. The komishit sarikh lito
• 20:51
  umitzhahr adsmo and anyone who who needs to take but he
• 20:57
  punishes himself or suffers not to take the Dolce hit the Shah
• 21:01
  and pushes himself the hai hai itzhar and he lives a difficult
• 21:06
  life. Kadeshwaaya triya Khaled
• 21:07
  seaboard not to make it difficult on the seaboard Eno
• 21:11
  mate add Shia Fernace Akhiri. He doesn't the bracha is we're
• 21:16
  talking about a person who is able to scrape by and, and, and
• 21:21
  make it. In other words, he is suffering,
• 21:24
