A tithe is a practice where individuals give a portion of their income, typically 10%, to support their religious community or organization. This tradition is often rooted in various religious teachings, including those found in the Bible, where it is seen as a way to honor and support the work of the church or other spiritual institutions. Tithing can be used to fund various activities, such as community outreach, maintenance of places of worship, and support for clergy. Many people view tithing as a form of gratitude and a way to contribute to the greater good within their faith community.
