The tzedakah box is a small box in which Jews traditionally collect loose change to be donated to the needy. It symbolizes a timeless commitment to justice within the Jewish tradition. Yet, our mission transcends loose change.
The weight of global injustice is overwhelming, and art has the transformative power to amplify important voices. Be the Change is a public art movement inspired by tzedakah, bringing together visionary local artists to create public sculptures that illuminate the pressing issues of our time.
