Persepuluhan atau perpuluhan adalah kegiatan memberikan 10% dari penghasilan kepada tempat ibadah. [ 1 ] Sekarang persepuluhan biasanya dilakukan dengan sukarela dan dibayar dengan uang, cek, atau saham. Dulunya persepuluhan dibayar dalam bentuk produk pertanian atau sejenisnya. Yahudi Ortodoks umumnya melaksanakan ma'aser kesafim (memberikan 10% dari pendapatan mereka untuk amal). Di Israel modern, orang-orang Yahudi masih tetap mengikuti hukum persepuluhan pertanian, seperti ma'aser rishon , terumat ma'aser , dan ma'aser sheni , tetapi tidak melaksanakan persepuluhan hewan karena tidak ada Bait Allah yang berdiri [ 2 ] .
