Now, what's Maaser Ani? Maaser Ani, the owner has to give to the Kohen-- To the Ani, I'm sorry, in the third year and the sixth year of the Shemitah.

Robert McCurdyGUEST
After all, it was only a couple weeks from Trumpets.
Robert McCurdyGUEST
I would have had less than two weeks to prepare, and I really had only learned about Second Tithe as well.
Robert McCurdyGUEST
But I couldn't help wondering what I was missing.
Robert McCurdyGUEST
And weeks later, when they all returned from the feast, their excitement seemed to validate all the enthusiasm that they'd expressed to me in those earlier conversations.

Robert McCurdyGUEST
And there you shall eat before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice in all which you have put your hand, you and your households, in which the Lord your God has blessed you.
Robert McCurdyGUEST
And we're not going to turn to other scriptures, but it's clear that God introduces here another tithe, a different tithe.
Robert McCurdyGUEST
And we call this the festival tithe, or more commonly in this age, we call it the second tithe.
Robert McCurdyGUEST
Verse 10, "'But when you cross over the Jordan and dwell in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to inherit, and He gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety,' Then there will be a place where the Lord your God chooses to make his name abide.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
You have the first tithe, that's 10% goes to the Levite.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
And then on years one and two and four and five of the seven-year Shmita cycle, you have Maaser Sheni, which is the second tithe.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
It's a second 10% that you don't actually give away, but you yourself consume it in Jerusalem during the festival pilgrimages with your family.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
And then on years three and six, instead of that tithe, you have the pauper's tithe, a second 10% that goes to the pauper.
Yaakov WolbeHOST
You have the first tithe, that's 10%, goes to the Levite.

Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
And even if there's a poor man who has a little vineyard, we do force him to give to other Ani.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Now, Maaser Ani metchalek b'toch beito, but Maaser Ani, which is given in the third and sixth years of the Shemitah cycle, uh, in lieu of Maaser Sheni, and it is divided up in his house, not out in the-- not left out in the vineyard or in the field.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Yesh bo tovatana ba'alim.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
The, uh, owner can decide which, uh, Ani to give it to, and that's actually a right which is tangible and, uh, and worth something.
Ari SpieglerHOST
He says, "Kavas man habior veha-vidduy be-erev Pesach shel shana harviit." That he's gonna say this, uh, particular, uh, tefillah, he's gonna say this ritual, uh, davka in the fourth year on Erev Pesach.
Ari SpieglerHOST
And the Rambam as well, if you look in the Hilchot Maaser Sheni, this is in Pereg Yud Alef, Halakha Alef.
Ari SpieglerHOST
He says, "Mitzvah aseh," it is a positive mitzvah, "litfadot lifnei Hashem," to confess before Hashem, "achar shemotziyin kol hamatanot shebe-zera ha-aretz," after giving all of the gifts that come from, uh, the ground, "ve-zeh vanikra vidduy maaser." This is what we call vidduy maaser, the confession of the tithes.
Ari SpieglerHOST
Now, everyone asks the question, How and in what way do we consider this a vidduy? In what way is this considered a confession? After all, what does he say? "I did everything perfectly.
Yakov JoelsonGUEST
