A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Israel and the Nations'
in which he teaches to give half to his relatives and half to all the other poor.
Maran [Our Master] wrote in the Shulkhan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Section 125, rule 10: "If a non-Jew carries an open vessel containing wine etc., if it is full – it is forbidden to enjoy it, in case he has touched it etc." In my modest opinion, it appears that in our day non-Jews are not proficient in the nature of foreign worship and have no desire to touch the wine; there is no need to suspect that they touch it [with the intention of foreign worship] in those cases where stealing or drinking from it is not suspected. Therefore in all such examples it is permitted, even for drinking.
Ginat Vradim, Section Orah Haim, Gan HaMelech, paragraph 4, Yismach Lev Publishing, Jerusalem, 2008
