  1. Laws relating to Maaser Sheiyni:
    • “You shall tithe all the produce of your field annually.
    • Where to eat it: This tithe is to be eaten in the chosen place where Hashem rests [i.e. Jerusalem] so that you learn to fear Hashem all your days. The tithe of your grains, wine, oil, and the firstborn of your cattle and flock. [This Maaser is called Maaser Sheiyni.] If you live a distance from the area, and are unable to carry all the produce there, then you shall redeem the produce with money and take the money to the chosen place [i.e. Jerusalem]. That money shall than be used [in Jerusalem] to buy cattle, flock, wine, and everything that you desire.
    • You and your family are to rejoice there. You are not to ignore the Levite.”

 

  1. The law of Biur Maaser:
  • “At the conclusion of the 3rd year you are to remove all of your tithes from your home and place it within your gates. The Levite, and convert, orphan and widow will come and eat it to satiation. Do this so that Hashem shall bless you in all your actions.”
