Tzedakah
“The amount of charity one should give is as follows:
if one can but afford, let him give as much as is needed.
Under ordinary circumstances, a fifth of one's property is most laudable.
To give one-tenth is the average disposition.
But to give less than one-tenth is miserable.”
— Shulchan Arukh: Yoreh De'ah Ch. 249
