| 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).

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
- Width: 8 cm
- Height: 19 cm
