Tzedakah, is the purest Jewish concept portraying righteousness, charity and justice. Tzedakah boxes which are found in homes, stores and the synagogue have a slotted top to enable the collection of coins. The origin of the Tzedakah Box, can be traced back thousands of years ago to the Old Testament, which relates how the Temple in Jerusalem collected donations so as to repair the structure of the Temple. These donations were placed in a chest whose top had a hole cut in the top of the chest in order to place donations. A key significance regarding charity in Jewish law and tradition is the spirit of giving anonymously, thereby maintaining the dignity of the person receiving the gift. The Tzedakah Box provided the possibility of offering charity without knowing who would receive the money. Who among us does not growing up with a Tzedaka box (Pushka) in their home. Whether for a community cause, or for the State of Israel, whenever you had extra coins it went right into that box. Our fine collection of Tzedaka boxes will help you carry on this timeless and most important of traditions.
