About the Item

This rare and historically significant 18th-century pewter Beit Cholim charity bowl embodies the spirit of communal care and generosity. Inscribed in elegant cursive English on both sides with the words "Beth Holim," this bowl was likely used to collect charitable donations in support of a hospital dedicated to tending to the sick and needy within its community. Crafted from pewter, the bowl features a gracefully rounded domed base, providing stability, while its wide, deep form with a flared lip allows for ease of use. The aged patina and subtle wear bear witness to its long history of service, reflecting the enduring tradition of tzedakah (charity) and communal responsibility. A remarkable artifact of 18th-century philanthropic and medical history, this Beit Cholim charity bowl is not only a functional piece of Judaica but also a tangible reminder of the compassion and solidarity that sustained communities in centuries past.
