What is proper staka? Proper staka means to the right place to you know if a person for example that is you know giving staka can't just choose to give it to whatever they want. It has to be proper meaning some people ask me can I give my staka to to my parents or to my brother? So I say well are they poor? No no they're not poor but you know just help them. I'll pay for their car lease. That's not considered stuck. Okay. What about can I give money to my synagogue if it's just regular staka? Yes. But if you're trying to do a tikun for tikunit, it depends what kind of synagogue it is. If if the synagogue is just a place to pray, there's no shor there. Needless to say, no one teaches about tikunit, then it's not the ideal place to give to uh because it has nothing to do with the sin. So it's a person needs to put some more thought into uh what's the best place to donate to and not just think that wherever I give to I could just consider it the the right place. There's no unforgivable sins in Judaism. It's just a the doing chuva for them, repending for them is much more difficult.
