What does Yalkut Yosef state about supporting children with Ma'aser money?

The statement from Yalkut Yosef about supporting children with Ma'aser money emphasizes that it can specifically be utilized for children who are studying in Kollel. This reflects the understanding that those engaged in Torah study, particularly in a Kollel setting, are dedicating their time to learning, which may limit their financial independence. Therefore, providing support through Ma'aser funds is seen as a way to foster and enhance their spiritual growth and scholarship without burdening them financially.

Using Ma'aser money for children in Kollel aligns with the broader principles of supporting Torah scholarship and ensuring that those committed to learning are not hindered by financial concerns. This principle underscores the importance of investing in education and Torah study, which have significant communal and spiritual value.

The other options suggest uses of the funds that do not align with the particular focus on supporting learning. For instance, using Ma'aser for any children is too broad and does not specify the educational context that Yalkut Yosef emphasizes. Similarly, limiting support to children under 6 or specifying that it's only for married children shifts the focus away from the priority of education and learning, which is central to the understanding of how Ma'aser funds should be allocated.
