Obviously, it is a difficult thing to tell someone how much money they should give as an appropriate gift for a Bar Mitzvah, since everyone's financial situation is very different and every Bar Mitzvah participant expects different levels of gratitude from different people. However, $36 is perfectly appropriate as a gift to give your classmate for his Bar Mitzvah, even though it would probably be an inappropriate amount for a close, working relative.

What are some appropriate gifts to give for a Bar Mitzvah?
You can't go wrong with money. The word life in Hebrew CHAI has the numerical value of 18, therefore people often give bar mitzvah money gifts in multiples of 18 ($18, $36 etc).If you were just friends with the boy who is even having the bar mitzvah, you could just give him something like an iTunes gift card or something like that. Same thing with a girl who is having a bat mitzvah.Important: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.
