TZEDAKAH CHARITY BOX PALESTINE JERUSALEM COLOR JEWISH YESHIVA SALTZMAN Bezalel

Description

Here\'s a very colorful Tzedaka (Jewish Charity) Box made in Palestine some time in the 1930\'s to mid 1940\'s. It was designed by the Bezalel teacher artist Alfred Zaltsman, whose name appears on the side of the box. The box was distributed to donors in palestine as well as in the USA and periodically people would send in the money to the Institution, which in this case was that founded by the Chief Rabbi of Palestine Rav Shmuel Salant, in the mid 1800\'s. The name of the charity was called UNITED CHARITY INSTITUTIONS which was an amalgamation of several charities in Jerusalem, (Bikur Holim Hospital & Yeshivat Eitz Chayyim), whose funds were distributed by this major charitable organization.

There\'s also the ability for this box to be wall mounted.

The box is in good used condition, minor scratches here and there, some rust signs as you can see from the scans. Nice colors of red and yellow, seldom to be found in such charity boxes. This box is perhaps the nicest design ever made for such an institution (no wonder, it was made by a Bezalel artist who designed several charity boxes for Jewish Institutions in that period).

Measurements: (back) 3.5 x (height) 3 2/10 inches.

Since this box does NOT contain a place for key, rather once it became full of coins it was broken and thereby destroyed. So even though it is in used condition, it was never actually used! It was the wall mounted type of Tzedaka boxes.

PS I should mention that such type of boxes have gone for over $200 on Judaica sales!



I will be on vacation till October 9th so all orders received before that date will be delayed. Than you for understanding!
