Mapping Your Personal History With Judaica Gifts

Life's milestones come so few and far between that

, in general, we divide our lives up by them. As a result each and every life altering event is adorned with certain often expensive gifts or important Judaica gifts to mark the occasions. Our Bar Mitzvah is a dawning of a new era in our lives. An era full of personal discovery that the burden of being "too young" to be cut loose on our own is thrown off and replaced with a new freedom to find ourselves. Then there is college. For most of us, college is our first extensive period truly out from under the watchful eyes of our parents and extended family.

Soon after college these life altering events ramp up their speed for some but sprawl out over a decade or so for others. You get your first real job and hopefully it is something that sticks. (At the very least it is hopefully something that sets you on the right path.) You meet someone, fall in love, get married. The big ceremony, the cake, that pile of sterling silver gifts. Each of those items, be they some silver candlesticks or simple mezuzahs, will walk with you into the next phase of your life. Chances are they will even walk with you beyond that point.

Marking important occurrences is rooted in almost any culture that has been around for some time. For the Jewish people, their frequent tragedies often leading to one historical relocation after another have left them holding very tightly on to the few items of significance they manage to keep with them. This has extended to these items, given as Judaica gifts for weddings, graduations and birthdays. These become the tokens that must be treated with reverence in a family.

Often these items are adorned with Hebrew phrases or passages of scripture. This makes these sterling silver gifts all the more important. Candles, honey dishes, and mezuzahs are all of course, important parts of various Jewish holy days and traditions. As a result, these items will be used frequently during the year's important events. By the time you have owned them for just a brief period they are indelably linked to your family life.

Life changing events do not come often. When they do, marking the occasion is everyone's responsibility. You need to make the most of the time you have in this life and while sterling silver gifts are no key to happiness they allow you to map your history in a unique way.
