Does the Erev Shabbat tithing question apply in all communities and times?
Synopsis
The Mechaber includes the tithing question as standard. The Rema (citing the Tur) exempts communities where tithing is not practiced. The Beur HaGra adds support from the Yerushalmi showing that R' Shimon bar R' Yitzchak only mentioned eruv and candle lighting (not tithes) because he ate from the market.
