Mailbox shaped Tzedakah Box by Itzhak Luvaton (now available in Cherry and Mahagony)

Mailbox shaped Tzedakah Box by Itzhak Luvaton

In Hebrew, the word for charity, "Tzedakah," - צדקה means far more than just that. Charity implies kindness performed out the goodness of one’s heart, but which is by no means obligatory. Tzedakah, on the other hand, means, "doing right," implying an obligation to help others - financially, materially, spiritually and in any way possible.

A tzedakah box is a receptacle for collecting money that is designated for charity.

This Tzedakah box is one of Itzhak Luvaton's Artwork. Itzhak Luvaton is a Jewish artist, who creates unique Judaica art combined with various materials. He combines the old Jewish tradition with up-to-date design.

This Tzedakah box is made of Cherry wood and Sterling Silver. It is shaped like a mailbox and has on its sides the Seven Species of Israel. (The seven species listed are (Deut 8:8): wheat, barley, grape, fig, pomegranates, olive, and date). On the front is a plaque with the words "V'Ahavta L'Reicha Kamocha" - ואהבת לרעך כמוך meaning: "you shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:17).

New Colored Mezuzot by Itzhak Luvaton

A mezuzah for every home which will pull you right to the doorpost. Itzhak Luvaton has designed a slim, totally fresh look in a variety of themes, all connecting to the meaning of the "klaf" (scroll) inside.

A striking example in the new Luvaton Mezuzot collection, is a mezuzah which brings the beauty of Israel to the entrance of your home. Encased in clear Lucite, the "shin" is raised above the scenic background giving a two dimensional effect. Beneath is a vision of the beauty of Israel. An elegant peacock sits comfortably and peacefully, perched on soft rustic branches which seem to be moving in the breezes, interspersed with delicate pomegranates, suspended here and there. Measuring 6" and 1/2 " x 1 and 1/2" the sleek holder projects out with the mezuzah "klaf" safely enclosed in its own case beneath. This Israel scene is also available in 4 and 1/2" x 1/2" size in a more compact version.

Surprise Baby Carriage made by Itzhak Luvaton and Samuel Mauriciu

Based on the classic baby carriage models we based our unique design of a miniature 925 sterling silver, hand made Baby Carriage.

The carriage conceals in it Jewish ceremonial tools. When moving the carriage soothing music is played from a hidden music box.

Other Tools concealed in the carriage:

A Telescopic Kiddush cup.
An Havdalah candle.
Zedaka Box that hangs on the carriage handles, and can also be used as a spice box for Havdalah.
Two medallions hanging on the carriage sides where the name of the newborn or family can be engraved.
A fabric quilt that covers the inside of the carriage space.
A parchment to write the names of the born – to create a family tree.

The carriage design required planning details in order to make it a unique creation of value, both sustainable and long-term use. The carriage will accompany the newborn from birth to old age and transferred in the family from generation to generation as a value.

Dimensions:

Weight: 830 Gram
Length: 18.5 cm

Count the Omer with Itzhak Luvaton's New Showcase Design

"שִׁבְעָה שָׁבֻעֹת, תִּסְפָּר-לָךְ...." דברים, פרק ט"ז, פסוקים ט'-י'
"You shall count for yourselves seven weeks" Deuteronomy 16:9-10

Bringing together the ancient and the modern, Itzak Luvaton together with Meira Freifeld, , have created an extraordinary showcase to display and Count the Omer, designed to resemble a large, impressive book, each page is headed by the number of the day (1-49). Each page is Giclée printed and hand-gilded with 23 Karat gold leaf.

The pages which look like ancient text are visible through an open window on the face of this modern, majestic blue volume, which stands upright on its own. Using innovative techniques, Luvaton's exclusive design enables you to secure each day's beautiful page in the book's window during the seven week period and safely store each of the 49 pages within this showcase.

Time is marked or counted between holidays as in the period between Passover which celebrates freedom from slavery to Shavuot which celebrates the giving of the 10 commandments to ensure real freedom for all. During this seven week period we traditionally count each day called "Counting the Omer". (3,00 years ago Jews brought a small amount, an omer, of barley to the Temple in Jerusalem to note each day). Today we recite a blessing and count out the number of the day and the week each day.
