Treasured Faith

$227.00

A charming house in warm colors makes up the façade of this Tzedakah box. Its many windows filled with treasures of the Jewish faith such as the Torah, the Jewish Star, and the Sabbath Candles to name a few. The soft and curvy outlines of the box balance the rectangular angles of its windows while the dove and pomegranate on top add flare and festivity. The Box is made by hand painting, followed by a variety of materials meticulously arranged inside the delicately cut stainless steel frame. The box parts are cut to perfectly fit and are assembled using no welding or glue resulting in a beautifully finished piece. The word Tzedakah is translated as Charity but the Hebrew word is actually derived from the root “Tzedek” or justice. Tzedakah is one of the important tenets of Judaism. Giving a Tzedakah box, especially when one becomes bar/bat mitzvah, conveys the notion of new, adult responsibilities.
