About the Item
A tin charity container for Kollel Shomrei HaChomot in Belgium from the early 20th century was used to collect donations for this religious institution comprising several schools, an orphanage, and homes for the elderly.
Kollel Shomrei HaChomot, also known as the Kollel of the Guardians of the Walls, refers to a collective of scholars dedicated to advanced Talmudic study. Kollel's like this one were established to support Torah learning and provide financial assistance to scholars and their families.
Belgium in the early 20th century was home to a vibrant Jewish community that contributed significantly to the cultural, economic, and intellectual life of the country. Jewish religious institutions, including Kollels, played crucial roles in maintaining Jewish identity and continuity amidst social and political changes.
The charity container was placed in Jewish communal spaces, such as synagogues or community centers, to collect donations from congregants and community members. These donations were essential for funding the Kollel's operations, educational resources, and support for communal activities.
Charity container is made of tin for its durability and cost-effectiveness and painted black with gold lettering. It features a slot for inserting coins or bills at the top and has the name of the organization with images of the Chasam Sofer Kollel building and the burial structure of Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness at the front. On one side written in Hebrew is a list of the causes they support, and on the other side in French "Pour une institution comprenant plusieurs ecoles un orphelinat et un foyer de vieillards" which translates to "for an institution comprising several schools, an orphanage and a home for the elderly"
This tin charity container from early 20th-century Belgium connects one to the history of Jewish religious education, community support, and philanthropy in Europe. It serves as a tangible link to the traditions, values, and communal efforts that have sustained Jewish life for centuries.
