Tzedakah Boxes of the Klein Collection with curator Abby Magariel

Sunday, March 2, 2025 2 Adar 5785

10:15 AM - 11:30 AM

The LJCC is pleased to announce that it will now house a rotating display of items from B'nai Jehudah's esteemed Klein Collection!

Our first display will feature Tzedakah boxers from the Michael Klein Collection. Inaugurating our new status as a Klein Collection site, curator Abby Magariel will join us for a broad discussion of the Michael Klein Collection and its mission to explore Jewish art, history and cultures from around the world. From these communities, artists and craftspeople created tzedakah boxes that help us to fulfill the mitzvah of charitable giving, and also illustrate the concept of hiddur mitzvah, the beautification of the commandments.  Tzedakah boxes from the Klein Collection represent a diversity of materials and styles, and offer a look into the lives of the communities that produced them.
