The image on the Hebrew Benevolent Society’s seal depicts the Angel of Death holding a scythe in the right hand and an hourglass in the outstretched fingers of the left. The Society’s motto, “Charity delivers from death,” is painted as if by a child, revealing the artist’s unfamiliarity with Hebrew.
