In Judaism, tzedakah refers to the religious obligation to do what is right and just, which Judaism emphasizes are important parts of living a spiritual life. In practice, most Jews carry out tzedakah by donating a portion of their income to charitable institutions. A Tzedakah box is used to collect that money and keep it safe until it is given to charity.Named after my Mother, Fran, who is the most generous person I know, this tzedakah box is fabricated from pewter and brass the letters are hand pierced. The top is a separate lid to remove the money to give to charity.
