A Dutch Jewish Hospital Charity Container, Netherlands, Circa 1920

About the Item

A Dutch Jewish Hospital Charity Container from the Netherlands, circa 1920, is a unique Judaic historical artifact. This charity container was used to collect donations for a Jewish hospital in the Netherlands. These containers served as a means for the community to contribute funds to support medical care and services for those in need. The container was a part of the philanthropic efforts within the Dutch Jewish community during the early 20th century. Supporting hospitals and medical institutions was particularly important in Jewish communities, reflecting values of compassion (tzedakah) and communal solidarity. Charity container is painted black with gold stars of David on the background on all sides. "De Joodsche Invalide" (The Jewish Invalid) is painted in red on both sides with scrolling red designs on the the two smaller sides. At the top, "Gedenkt De Verng" (Thank You Very Much) is written in red with a slot for inserting donations, and a suspension ring used to hang the charity container in public areas. Historically this charity container was made in the interwar period, a time marked by economic challenges growing antisemitism, and political instability. Such charity containers are now valuable artifacts that provide insights into the charitable practices and community life of Dutch Jews in the early 20th century. They are collected by museums and private collectors interested in Jewish history and material culture. Numbered 1285 at the bottom.
