Halakhah su Deuteronomio 15:11

כִּ֛י לֹא־יֶחְדַּ֥ל אֶבְי֖וֹן מִקֶּ֣רֶב הָאָ֑רֶץ עַל־כֵּ֞ן אָנֹכִ֤י מְצַוְּךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר פָּ֠תֹחַ תִּפְתַּ֨ח אֶת־יָדְךָ֜ לְאָחִ֧יךָ לַעֲנִיֶּ֛ךָ וּלְאֶבְיֹנְךָ֖ בְּאַרְצֶֽךָ׃ (ס)

Perché i poveri non cesseranno mai di uscire dalla terra; perciò ti comando dicendo:'Sicuramente aprirai la tua mano al tuo povero e bisognoso fratello, nella tua terra.'

Kitzur Shulchan Arukh

If you support your grown children whom you are not obligated to support [those over the age of six], in order to teach your sons Torah, and your daughters to lead proper lives, similarly, if you support your father [or mother] (and you are not able to support them except by using your charity money,) and they need this support—this constitutes charity; and what is more, they take precedence over others. Even if it is not a son or a father but only a relative, he takes precedence over anyone else. And the poor person in your your house takes precedence over the poor in your city, and the poor of your city takes precedence over the poor of another city, as it is said: "To your brother, to your poor, to your needy in your land."18Deuteronomy 15:11. But the treasurer who distributes communal charity, must be careful not to give his relatives more than [he gives] to the other poor people.
