Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky Paid Taxes On Mishloach Manos!
Jump to Comments
There is a chiyuv to give Ma’aser from your income. If you receive an expensive Mishloach Manos do you need to give Ma’aser from it? This was the question asked to Rav Ephraim Greenblatt (Rivevos Ephraim 6:389). He answered that he saw in a Sefer Uvacharta BaChaim that Rav Chaim Kreiswirth said in hesped for Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky that Rav Yaakov would report as income and pay taxes on mishloach manos that he received. If so then similarly one should give ma’aser. He concludes by saying that nevertheless the matter needs further research. Titein Emes L’Yaakov! Revach.net
