BRIEF INSIGHT
THE SUPPORT OF YOUNG CHILDREN
The Rabanan in Usha decreed that a man must support his young children. Nevertheless, we do not force a man to support his children unless he is wealthy. However, the Rosh says that for young children up to the age of six, we do force the father to support them. Even if the children are capable of supporting themselves (for example, they inherited property from their grandparents), the father still must support them; once the Chachamim decreed that they must be supported, the decree applies in all cases.
QUICK HALACHAH
THE OBLIGATION OF TZEDAKAH
Every person is obligated to give Tzedakah. Even a poor person who is supported from Tzedakah must give Tzedakah from his allotment. If a person gives less Tzedakah than is appropriate for a person of his wealth, the Beis Din coerces him and lashes him until he gives an appropriate amount. Beis Din may enter his property and seize the Tzedakah that he should be giving. (Shulchan Aruch YD 248:1)
Even though Tzedakah is a Mitzvas Aseh for which the Torah promises a reward, even so we force a person to give Tzedakah because there are also Mitzvos Lo Sa'aseh that pertain to the Mitzvah of Tzedakah. (Shach)
