In the Jewish tradition, a '''tithe''' is a sum of money, usually 10% of a person's income, that is given to the church.  The tithe is mandated in the Old Testament(Leviticus 27:30-33) and praised by Jesus(Matthew 23:23).  Tithing is relatively rare in modern American society.  As of 2002, only 6% born again adults tithe, and only 3% of households overall.<ref>http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdate&BarnaUpdateID=139</ref>
