subject: Deciding Which Gift Items To Give During Bat Mitzvah [print this page] Bat Mitzvah or Bar Mitzvah is a popular Jewish celebration. It is a celebration wherein the Jewish boys and girls participate in the Sabbath for the very first time. Young kids are not usually invited to celebrate the Sabbath since they are still immature, they cannot take into heart and mind yet the teachings of the religion. Once they reach the age of maturity, they can now partake of the customs.
Bat Mitzvah, for those young Jewish girls and boys, is like a right of passage. Being admitted to the religion means they now also have to take part in all the festivities and ceremonies demanded by their Law. There are six hundred thirteen Law all in all as mandated by the Torah. During the Bat Mitzvah celebration, it is typical to give gifts or small tokens to those for whom the event is being celebrated.
One of the most popular gifts during this event is religious books. This is to help the young Jews imbibe the culture and the teachings of their religion one baby step at a time. The books can be religious or it can also be educational. This is a very useful item to give away, plus it is very affordable as well.
If the young Jew is a relative, a family friend or someone really close to you, you can give him or her saving bond. Since Bar Mitzvah in Israel marks a special occasion for the young Jew, you can give him or her opportunity to save for the future. It is not something that can be used in the present, but it will be worth more in the future.
If the young Jew is a girl, you can give her gender specific items such as a charm bracelet or necklaces for her Bat Mitzvah Israel. Make the gift symbolic by giving an 18 karat gold chain. 18 is recognized as a number of life so it is a good number to incorporate in the gift. For charm bracelets, put in 18 blocks on it. If you are giving a wallet, put in an 18 dollar bill for good luck and prosperity.
Bat Mitzvah Israel gifts for boys include funky wallets and fortune cookies. Boys are harder to shop for so a personalized greeting card or a gift certificate will do well. Just as long as the act of giving comes from the heart, any gift will surely be appreciated.
