How much money should one give as a gift
local custom and socioeconomic background.
7 years ago, my son's best friend had has Bar Mitzvah, and financial gifts ran around $50.00for mostly public school and college professors' kids in a large, midatlantic town.
However, I know that a former employer's kidstop level oncologist's family in the same community victoria secret outlet, upscale private schoolthe gifts ran somewhat higher vivienne westwood!
But if this isn't a best friend or a close family friend pandora jewelry, I'd say the committment goes down some.
Trouble with $$$ as a gift is that you and the recipient ALWAYS know the value. I tend to give items, and I try to find items that are going to be hard to evaluate in terms of priceI shop the 10 vanessa bruno,000 Villages warehouse sales to find unusual goods WAY marked down, so the value and what I spent aren't necessarily the same thing.
Not that that's going to be helpful for you trying to find fill this obligation. How about a $25.00 giftcard to a good bookstore?
Gift cards are always a good idea every 13yearold is happy to receive money to Borders or Amazon, for example.
The traditional Bar Mitzvah gift is a check There are Bar Mitzvah specific cards. Depending on where you live lululemon sale, may be tough to find. Many synagogues have gift shops that will stock these. If you have enough time ergo baby carrier, you can order one on the 'net. In Gematria (the numerical value of Hebrew letters), chai is equivalent to 8 and yud is equivalent to 10. So "chai" lululemon, chet and yud together, equals 18. Giving money in multiples of $18 is symbolic of giving "chai" or life. Many people give money in mulitiples of $18 as presents to someone celebrating a birth lululemon, a bar or bat mitzvah or a wedding. They received items ranging from religous (Kiddush cups, Shabbat candle sticks, Chai charms, Tzdekah boxes) to jewelry to clothing to cd's to books to gift cards/gift certificates to cash (checks).

Posts: 67 Thanks for the suggestions. I think a check for $36 would be appropriate for this child we have never met her, but I know one of the parents though not too well, actually we were surprised to receive the invitation. One other question: There are three events the ceremony chan luu, a luncheon afterward and then a formal dinner. Are we expected to attend all three? I am not sure I can get my husband to devote a whole day especially since he has never met the child.
If you feel uncomfortable giving cash, jewelry is always a good bet. I'm 19 and I still wear a lot of the jewelry I received from my bat mitzvah! I also received a nice jewelry box tiffany blue nikes, which was a good gift. because so many other people gave me jewelry.

If you are giving cash or gift cards, I wouldn't say that $100 is the "minimum" gift amount if you are attending all three events I'm sure that varies by region vanessa bruno, and how close you are to the family. It certainly wasn't the case at my Bat Mitzvah lululemon!Related：
