Tithing

Hi,

"Whenever a person profits:
-whether as payment for teaching, writing, or working, or
-whether one finds an item or is given an item as a gift, or
-whether one makes money in any way, whether silver or gold,
one must separate one tenth.

"This practice is invaluable, for in all matters Gd said one may not test Him [to see whether one will be rewarded], but in this matter Gd permitted it (in Malachi, 3rd chapter)."

(Sefer haYirah of Rabbeinu Yonah)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
