A Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness Charity Container, Israel Circa 1920
About the Item
A Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness charity container from Israel circa 1920 is an artifact associated with Jewish religious devotion and charitable traditions.
Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness, also known as Rabbi Meir the Miracle Worker, was a renowned Jewish sage and scholar from the 2nd century CE. He is revered in Jewish tradition for his wisdom, teachings, and reputed miracles performed in times of need. Charity containers dedicated to Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness were used to collect donations for charitable purposes, including supporting the poor, needy, or educational initiatives within Jewish communities. Donations were believed to invoke the rabbi's blessings and merit spiritual benefits.
The charity container is made of tin and painted in classic black and gold. Decorated at the front with scrolling designs surrounding an inscription of Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness' name in Hebrew and a depiction of the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem alongside the Synagogue at the burial site of the Ramban below.
In the 1920s, Jewish communities in Palestine (under British Mandate at the time) were actively involved in religious and cultural revival, educational initiatives, and community support despite ongoing political tensions and economic challenges. Charity containers like these served as tangible expressions of communal support and devotion. This Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness charity container documents Jewish religious customs, charitable practices, and community life during a formative period in the history of Jewish settlement in Palestine.

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...
