== In the Talmud ==
The [[Babylonian Talmud]] ruled that the amount of poor man's tithe one gives to a single poor person must be enough to provide for two meals.<ref>[https://www.sefaria.org.il/Eruvin.29a.11?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Eruvin 29a]</ref>
The Babylonian Talmud also states that while ''ma'sar ani'' technically could be used to feed one's poor father, one should not do so, so as not to embarrass one's father. Rather, a son should try his best to care for his father out of his other property.<ref>[https://www.sefaria.org.il/Kiddushin.32a.5?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Kiddushin 32a]</ref>
