A colorful box involving an intricate cutting and assembling process to create a decorative model of the Ark. Playfully depicted giraffes, butterflies and parrots peek through portholes while an abundance of beads and colored stones fleck the sides representing the storming waves. At the center the Hebrew word “Tzedakah," at the stern the dove of peace, olive branch in her beak. The Box is made by hand painting, followed by a variety of materials meticulously arranged inside the delicately cut stainless steel frame. The box parts are cut to perfectly fit and are assembled using no welding or glue resulting in a beautifully finished piece.
The word Tzedakah is translated as Charity but the Hebrew word is actually derived from the root “Tzedek” or justice. Tzedakah is one of the important tenets of Judaism. Giving a Tzedakah box, especially when one becomes bar/bat mitzvah, conveys the notion of new, adult responsibilities.
