Tzedakah Box – Outstretched Hand

$3,070.00

The design of this charity box is inspired by the biblical verse: “… Do not shut your hand against your needy kinsman. Rather, you must open your hand and lend him sufficient for whatever he needs.” (Deut 15:7-8) The words are cut by hand in Hebrew on both sides of the box. The tzedakah money is put in through the slot beneath the thumb; the sides can be removed to empty the box.
