The Jerusalem Tzedaka Box

This unique sterling silver charity box is reminiscent of Jerusalem. Inscribed upon the box is the quote:
“עשרה קבין של יופי ירדו לעולם תשעה נטלה ירושלים ואחד העולם כולו” “Ten portions of beauty came down to the world: Nine for Jerusalem and one for the rest of the world.”

The Jerusalem Tzedaka Box is composed of nine charity boxes in one. In the center is a removable Tzedaka box. This box represents the Holy Temple and the relationship of charity that exists between man and G-d. The Torah teaches us that giving to the Temple is the first stage of giving charity.

This Tzedaka box is embellished with the following verse, from Malachi 3:10: ”הביאו את כל המעשר אל בית האוצר ויהי טרף בביתי“ “Bring all the tithes to the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house. [for those who serve in the Holy Temple]”

The Talmud (Taanit 9A) reads: “Rabbi Yochanan met the young son of Reish Lakish. Rabbi Yochanan said to him: “Recite to me the verse you are currently studying.” The boy answered him, ” עשר תעשר ” [“Tithe, you shall tithe].”

2001, Made from sterling silver and Jerusalem stone.
