Create a traditional Tzedakah charity box with a tall cylindrical form, Hebrew lettering and a practical coin-slot top. This silicone mold is designed for decorative casting projects and is available in two Judaica-inspired designs: one featuring a stylized flame symbol above the Hebrew word צדקה, and one with the צדקה lettering on its own.
The finished pieces have a gently textured, handcrafted appearance with subtle distressed surface details around the cylindrical body. Both designs create a hollow interior, making this mold specifically suited to creating a charity or money box rather than a solid freestanding candle.
Key Features
- Traditional Tzedakah Design: Creates a vertical charity box featuring the Hebrew word צדקה.
- Two Design Options: Choose between a decorative flame-symbol design or a simpler Hebrew-lettering design.
- Coin-Slot Top: The finished design includes the characteristic narrow opening at the top for inserting coins or folded notes.
- Hollow Interior: Both designs form an internal cavity measuring approximately 7.4 × 7.4 × 12 cm.
- Flexible Silicone: The silicone construction allows the mold to be carefully peeled away from a fully cured casting.
- Decorative Surface Detail: Subtle distressed areas give the finished casting a handmade, aged appearance.

Flame Symbol + Tzedakah Lettering
This version features a stylized flame-like Judaica motif positioned above the Hebrew צדקה lettering. It is the taller of the two designs and creates a finished piece approximately 13.8 cm high.
Tzedakah Lettering
A cleaner version centered around the Hebrew צדקה lettering without the larger flame motif. Its simpler front design gives the finished charity box a restrained, traditional appearance.

Casting Guidance
- Place the mold on a level, stable surface before filling.
- Prepare your chosen casting material according to its manufacturer's recommended mixing and curing instructions.
- Allow the casting to cure completely before attempting removal.
- During demolding, gradually peel the flexible silicone away rather than pulling forcefully on the Hebrew lettering, coin-slot area or other detailed sections.
- Because this is a relatively tall mold, keep it upright and properly supported while the casting material sets.
The product images provide plaster quantities as a casting reference. These values should not be interpreted as wax requirements because plaster and candle wax have different densities.
Care and Storage
Clean the silicone gently after use and allow it to dry completely before storage. Avoid sharp tools that could cut or puncture the mold, particularly around the lettering and upper coin-slot details. Store the mold away from direct heat and prolonged compression so that it retains its original shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this silicone mold create?
It creates a tall cylindrical Tzedakah charity box with Hebrew צדקה lettering and a narrow coin-slot opening at the top. This is a hollow decorative casting rather than a solid candle shape.
Are both designs included?
No. The product is offered in two selectable designs, and one selected Tzedakah box mold is included with each purchase.
What is the difference between the two designs?
The Flame design includes a large stylized flame motif above the Hebrew lettering and measures approximately 13.8 cm high. The second design uses the Hebrew Tzedakah lettering alone and measures approximately 13.2 cm high.
How large is the interior?
The image specifications show an inner cavity of approximately 7.4 × 7.4 × 12 cm (2.91 × 2.91 × 4.72 inches) for both designs.
How much plaster is required?
The supplied product images show approximately 475 g for the Flame design and 461 g for the Lettering design. These are plaster reference quantities and should not be treated as wax requirements.
Is this intended to make a candle?
The product images show a hollow Tzedakah charity box with a coin-slot top, so this mold is better suited to decorative casting projects rather than creating a conventional freestanding candle.
How should the finished piece be removed?
Allow the casting to cure fully first. Then peel the silicone gradually away from the casting, working carefully around the Hebrew lettering, decorative motif and upper slot details rather than pulling the finished piece out forcefully.
