Here are two suggestions. One: a hundred dollar bill. Two: go to a Hebrew bookstore (or look online in the Abebooks webpage) and buy a copy of Rejoice O Youth by Rabbi Avigdor Miller.
AnswerThere are two options when giving a gift for a bar mitzvah, the first is monetary and the second is a gift suitable for a 13 years old boy.In terms of monetary gifts, the Jewish tradition is to give multiples of 18. This is because the numerical value of the Hebrew word for life is 18. Depending on how close a relationship you have with your employee, a gift of $36 is acceptable unless you're very close with the family at which point a larger amount might be suitable.
Alternatively, in most communities, bar and bat mitzvahs register at local gift shops which makes it easier to pick out a gift that they'll actually like. If you'd like to take this option, you could as your employee if their child registered somewhere.
Yes, you should still give the child his gift.
Any gift that you would give to a boy or girl is a suitable bar mitzvah gift. Just because it is a bar mitzvah doesn't mean it should be treated specially. Another popular bar mitzvah gift is money in multiples of 18.
Well, it's up to you I think it would be a kind jesture but no you don't have to give a gift.
A gift card from his favorite store or restaurant.
A good Bat mitzvah gift of money really depends on how close you are to this person. The Jewish tradition is to give gifts of money in multiples of 18.
you could bring money ______________ If the synagogue is Conservative or Orthodox, never try to give a monetary gift (this include gift cards as they're the equivalent of cash) at a bar mitzvah. The reason is that Jews do not handle money on shabbat (the sabbath). In fact, it's not a good idea to bring a gift of any kind to the synagogue. Either drop off the gift at the family's home in advance or wait until the party.
If You weere invited, but can't come, then yes. If you weren't invited, then you decide if you wanna give a gift
* If you are not invited to the shower then it is up to you whether you would like to give a gift or not, but you don't have to. If you were invited, but can't make the shower then yes, you should send the gift with someone else you know that is attending or stop by and give the gift AFTER the shower to the person the shower is for.
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the same as any other twin gift-giving issue: Give each child a separate gift. Don't treat the pair as if they were just two half people. Each of them is completely worthy as an individual and ought to be recognized as such.
