What is done with the money collected in Jewish church?
Jews do not have churches. They have houses of worship called synagogues. Money is not normally collected in synagogues (and is NEVER collected during sabbath services).Charitable donations to a synagogue are usually made through the synagogue's office or by mail or telephone. If money is donated, it's used for the operation of the synagogue or for scholarship funds for summer camps.Tithing is completely separate from this. Tithing is the Jewish concept of donating 10% of one's money to charity (not to the synagogue).
