Currently I am donating 6% of my income to general donation because it is short of the 10% maaser. Should I be donating to maaser instead of general? Of course ideally getting to 10% will eliminate this whole question but until then?

I am unsure of the appropriateness of this question but led to ask. I heard the Rav say that his students help lift him higher. I am not sure if I have a correct understanding of this statement with what I am going to ask. Currently, it is difficult for Rav to do some of the afternoon lessons. I have heard Rav say in the lessons which students he feels could lead these lessons. If a student were to actually lead an afternoon lesson that the Rav could not, would this help lift the Rav higher?

Thank you!

Is it appropriate to send uplifting messages with intention to bring connection to the group in personal Telegram messages and not in the group messages. I.E. new Friends enter the group and they are making great efforts to arrange their schedules to make group meetings – send them a personal note of appreciation or if a Friend is felt to be leaving a meeting really down send them a personal message of their importance to the group and try to uplift them?

Hi, my name is Joseph. I am a second semester Young Group student with Bnei Baruch. I am taking course in order to draw more reforming light to increase the connection in the Ten group that I am in.

Does the covenant made to love the Friends in the Ten continue after a Friend is separated by a corporeal death? Is there something the Ten can do to help the Friend’s point in the heart make it back to the path quickly or is this solely the Creator’s providence?
