What Is a Tzedakah Box?
A tzedakah box, or pushke, is a container kept in the home for collecting charity. The word tzedakah comes from tzedek, meaning justice, reflecting the obligation to help others. It is a longstanding minhag to give tzedakah just before candle lighting on Erev Shabbos, since money is not handled on Shabbos itself, and many families have children drop coins into the pushke each week.
Why Keep a Beautiful Tzedakah Box?
A handsome tzedakah box invites the whole family to give regularly and makes the mitzvah a visible part of daily life. A lucite or acrylic pushke looks elegant on a counter, breakfront, or candle lighting tray and stands up to everyday use.
What to Look for
Choose a box with a coin slot and easy access for emptying, a size that fits where you will keep it, and a finish that suits your home, clear lucite or warm accents.
