Kollel Iyun Hadaf Bava Basra 122: Ma'aser for the Melech
Bava Basra 122: Ma'aser for the Melech Josh asks: Hello kollel! The rambam notes the king may take a 10th of produce and animals. How
does this interact with regular maaser? Does the king take first? Does
he take after maaser rishon but before maaser sheni/ani? How does it
work in shmitta? Thank you! Josh | The Kollel replies: The
Radak (Shmuel I 8:15) states that Ma'aser ha'Melech is after Ma'aser
ha'Leviyim (Ma'aser Rishon). I would assume that the same is true about
Ma'aser Sheni/Ani but I have no source to prove that. In Shemitah, the
king, just like everybody else, may take what he wants, so it is
probably a moot point in Hilchos Melachim. Perhaps
we could ask whether the king is prohibited from taking more Shevi'is
fruits than he needs (like everyone else) or if the Din of Ma'aser
supercedes the Din of Shevi'is. I do not have a proof, but to my mind,
the question does not begin, because when it comes to Halachic adherence
and following the will of Hashem, the king is a commoner like everybody
else. Shmuel Brodie | | | |
