Tuition fees from Ma’aser money

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz
  • Question

Is it permissible to pay for schooling from ma’aser money?

  • Answer
According to the Alter Rebbe, what you are obligated to do, such as educate your child, you are also obligated to pay for. However, beyond a certain minimal amount, tuition can be taken from ma’aser money. (It is best to consult with a Rabbi who knows your personal situation regarding what is considered minimal.)
