A Keren Hayeshuv Charity Container, Israel Circa 1940
About the Item
A Keren Hayeshuv charity container from Israel circa 1940 is an artifact tied to the early years of the State of Israel and its efforts to support Jewish settlement and development.
Keren Hayeshuv, which translates to "The Settlement Fund," was an organization established in Israel during the pre-statehood period and continued its activities after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Its primary mission was to raise funds for the establishment and development of Jewish agricultural settlements (kibbutzim and moshavim) across the country. The 1940s were a pivotal period in Jewish history, marked by waves of immigration to British Mandate Palestine and the establishment of Jewish agricultural settlements as part of the Zionist movement's efforts to create a Jewish state. Keren Hayeshuv played a crucial role in these efforts, fostering agricultural self-sufficiency and nation-building.
The charity container was used to collect donations from Jewish communities in Israel and abroad. These donations were essential for purchasing land, building infrastructure, and supporting agricultural activities in new and existing Jewish settlements.
Made of tin and painted blue and white, the colors of the Israeli flag, featuring a slot for inserting coins or bills at the top and adorned with a scene of a farmer on his farm plowing a field and inscriptions that identify Keren Hayeshuv and its mission. These charity containers were designed to be sturdy and secure, with a key lock at the bottom, (Key is included).
This Keren Hayeshuv Charity container is a historical artifact that documents the early stages of Israel's development and pioneering spirit, ideals, and challenges faced by the early Zionist settlers in building the State of Israel. They reflect the determination and collective effort of Jewish communities to establish and sustain agricultural settlements in Israel.

An Early Charity Container from an Agudath Israel Convention
Located in New York, NY
This unique vintage pushka (charity box) is a rare historical piece from an Agudath Israel convention held in early 20th-century Europe, possibly near Switzerland. The design and inscriptions suggest that it was distributed to attendees as a keepsake and functional charity collection box.
The pushka is made of tin, crafted by the European company Gebr. Hoffman, which began producing tins in 1904 in Thun, Switzerland. The two halves of the box fit together seamlessly, ensuring a secure closure. One side features an embossed design resembling an early 20th-century Swiss coin, with a large "1" encircled by a laurel wreath. Below the number, a narrow slit allows for the insertion of coins, making it a practical donation container.
The reverse side of the tin bears...
