Bar Mitzvah Gifts Ideas | Bergen County Photographer
Are you invited to a Bar Mitzvah soon? Here are five gift ideas that your Bar Mitzvah boy would love.
Cash. That is convenient and can be used for something the boy wants right now or saved for the future. Usually checks are written out in $18 increments. 18 is the numerical value of the word חי (chai) in Hebrew which means life.
Sefarim . The word for book in Hebrew is Sefer, plural Sefarim. Among Orthodox Jews the word Sefarim is used to refer to any book that is part of the Tanach, the oral law (Mishnah and Talmud) or any work of rabbinic literature.
Yad. This is the pointer used during the Torah reading and for that reason is a great gift as the boy has prepared for a long time to read his Torah portion in front of the congregation and will use the yad to him I’m his reading throughout his life.
A Watch is really a piece of jewelry and a cool gift to mark this important occasion. If you feel like splurging a smart Watch is even cooler as it not only tells the time but allows you to make phone calls, count steps taken. Monitor heart rate and more.
Also a very popular option, especially if the Bar Mitzvah is just before Chanukah time. The menorah is definitely useful and can be used throughout the boys life.
