Something I never understood. During years 1,2,4,5 one takes of maaser sheni and had to eat it in Jerusalem. This, as well as Neta Revai, helps a family to support a person to stay in Jerusalem and learn. OK, so far so good.
In years 3 and 6, one takes off Maaser Ani for the poor. What do the poor eat during the other years? I know that there is Shichcha, Leket, and Peah that helps. But if the 3 are enough what is maaser sheni needed for, and if 3 are not sufficient, then what do the poor do in years 1,2,4,5?
Good Question. Obviously 7th year is shemita so no problem there.
Totally do not know the answer but maybe:
1. Shemitta covered years 1 and 2. Ma’aser Ani (year 3( covered years 4 & 5 but then year 6 would leave extra presumably because year 7 (shemita) is next.
2. Ma’aser kesafim?
???? ??? ??????, Hashem feeds the hungry. In His kindness, He allows us to participate in feeding the hungry, through ???? ??? and similar ?????, but rest assured, He takes care of them, with or without our “help”.
As an aside, ????? ?????? may not be kept once ??? ????? ?? ????, even by the poor.
