Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital Charity Container , by Alfred Saltzman Jerusalem, 1930

About the Item

A charity container for the Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital designed by Alfred Saltzman from Jerusalem in 1930 reflects the efforts to support healthcare and charitable initiatives in the early 20th century. Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital, founded in 1902 in Jerusalem, is one of the oldest and most respected hospitals in Israel. It serves as a major medical center providing healthcare services to the Jewish and wider community in Jerusalem and beyond. Charity containers like the one were used to collect donations to support Sha'arei Tzedek Hospital. Funds raised would have been used for medical equipment, patient care, hospital facilities, and other essential needs to provide healthcare to the community. Alfred Saltzman was a renowned Jewish artist and craftsman who worked in Jerusalem during the early 20th century. His contributions to Judaic charity containers reflected his dedication to preserving Jewish cultural heritage. This charity container is made of metal and tin and features a secure lid with a chained slot for donations at the top and is painted in Red and white the colors associated with medical relief worldwide. At the front, the name of the organization is written in Hebrew at the top and English below with a picture of a nurse caring for a patient at the center. The name of the artist is signed at the back included with the words "Made in Palestine" as Israel was known at the time. The 1930s in Jerusalem were marked by significant developments in healthcare and social services under British Mandate rule. Hospitals like Sha'arei Tzedek expanded their facilities and services to meet the growing needs of the local population, including new immigrants and residents of diverse backgrounds. It serves as a reminder of efforts to provide compassionate care and support community health within Jewish society.
