Bar Mitzvah Gifts

Bar Mitzvah is an auspicious occasion among orthodox Jews where they celebrate a Jewish boy turning 13 and stepping into adulthood

. And after this ceremony, the young boy is responsible for abiding by and upholding the Jewish rituals, traditions, ethics and laws which were borne by his parents so far. Since this ceremony calls for celebration like wedding, giving Bar Mitzvah gifts to the celebrant has also become a tradition. Usually religious items, books or saving bonds are given but more trendy Bar Mitzvah gift ideas are coming up.

If you want to give some religious item, here are some awesome gift ideas:

Star of David bookmark- For a student, this is one of the most popular and useful Bar Mitzvah gifts.

Religious Jewelry- Male accessories like bracelet or pendant with religious motif can also be one of interesting Bar Mitzvah gifts especially when you have an elaborate budget and the celebrant is someone in your immediate family. Trendy bracelets, personalized rings with scriptures or religious motifs engraved on it etc are also good Bar Mitzvah gifts.

Psalm- Psalm of Ten Commandments can be a serious but apt and useful Bar Mitzvah gift.

Gift certificates and cash are also common. However, if you are a non Jew invited to attend this ceremony, you should know that it is auspicious to give cash in multiples of 18.
