In the [[Christian]] and [[Jewish]] traditions, 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% of born again adults tithe, and only 3% of households overall.<ref>http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdate&BarnaUpdateID=139</ref>
