About the Item
This 16th century Tzedakah Charity Box is an incredibly rare and unique museum quality piece. It’s made out of walnut wood and has an original 16th century silk material all over it from outside as well as in the inside, bronze plug in the front and the Star of David with two lions from the left and right side of the Star. There are also two round bronze handles to lift the box from both sides. The Tzedakah Box is a container where the money that will be donated to a charity is collected. The Hebrew word “tzedakah”comes from Tzedek which means Justice. Giving money and helping those in need is understood to be an act of justice.
In many Jewish homes, it is customary to put money in boxes or cans that are painted and decorated to be a Tzedakah Box, before Shabbat.
We believe this Tzedakah Box comes out of a Synagoge in Spain.
The Box is in a very good condition for its age and a true piece of World Jewish History.
