This circular Yair Emanuel tzedakah box is made of wood, hand-painted with acrylic colors and then liberally lacquered. The lively pictures tell the story of the ark, the animals that crowded inside and the rainbow that expresses G-d’s promise that He would never bring another flood.

The ark is a fitting topic for a charity box. Noah spent his time in the ark, feeding and caring for the animals – a supreme model of charity and kindness.
