Hebrew: “Tzedakah”

The word “Tzedakah” is most commonly translated as “charity,” although it is derived from the Hebrew work for righteousness, or justice.

In Judaism, giving to the poor is not considered a noble act—it is an obligation; an act of justice. This obligation, which includes giving to Jews and non-Jews alike, is considered most sacred when neither the donor nor the individual recipient is known.

In this original Tzedakah Box, a brass Tree of Life can be seen through the clear beveled glass on the inside of the box.  The Hebrew word “Tzedakah” is elegantly handcut from the brass frontpiece.
