Need advice from a learned Jew re: the 'poor'
newman:
If the general rule is the order of self, family, neighbour, community etc..
......given that my family are fine, my community is fairly affluent and those who aren't are still doing very well by world standards, can I just give my portion to the poor of Israel or will I get a curse for not giving in my own country first?
Lubab:
1. Are you Jewish?
2. Why not just donate it all to JTF? Its the best of both worlds. ;)
newman:
No....not jewish.
