It's a sin to pay tithe to non-levitical pastors.

If your best shot for this topic is from Ernest Martin of askelm.com, you're terribly mistaken. In another thread where we examined Martin's claims, he was thoroughly shown to be lying through his yellow teeth. Most of his apologetics are dubious, peppered with claims that leave gaping holes and credentials that have long been exposed as frauds.

Jewish scholarship today that have nothing to do with Christianity still recognise their obligation to tithe.

Orthodox Judaism still regards tithe obligations as residing in produce grown in the Land of Israel. Contemporary practice is to set aside terumah, separate ma'aser rishon, separate terumat ma'aser, then redeem ma'aser sheni with a coin (on years that do not coincide with ma'aser ani).

Traditional Jewish law and practice has included various forms of tithing since ancient times. Universally, Orthodox Jews practice ma'aser kesafim (tithing 10% of their income to charity) and take challah. In modern Israel, Jews continue to follow the laws of agricultural tithing, e.g., terumah, ma'aser rishon, terumat ma'aser, and ma'aser sheni.

These are facts that Ernest Martin dubiously hid from his readers and would not have liked anyone to know before claiming that Jews no longer tithe today (see his chapter 3 in that link you gave). Where did he get his 'facts' from? What are the names of the 3 rabbis that he called in the L.A. area, and what synagogues are they attached to? Anyone can claim anything these days about so-and-so rabbis and get away with their silly lies - trust Ernest Martin to use that same tactic. . . and he bought many gullible Christians on the cheap! Should that surprise anyone?
