Weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and the month of Tishrei provide ample opportunities for giving Jewish- themed home gifts. A bar or bat mitzvah is a rite of passage and coming-of-age ceremony for young adults. Tishrei is the first month of the Hebrew year. Offer a gift for a Jewish family that will decorate and remind them of aspects of the Jewish culture. - A wall hanging provides decoration and blessings or reminders for a Jewish home. A silk or embroidered wall hanging with a Hebrew inscription is a meaningful gift. A hamsa, or palm-shaped structure, known through the Middle East and Southern African regions, provides good luck and wards off spirits from believers. A decorated Hamsa plaque with images of Jerusalem is another good gift idea for a kitchen or living room.
- Candleholders come in all shapes and sizes and help Jewish families and friends celebrate all religious holidays. A menorah is a specific candleholder that holds eight candlesticks that are lit one by one each night until the eighth night of Hanukkah. The candles must burn for a minimum of 45 minutes. A menorah is a special gift that many Jewish families will treasure. Matchbox holders and silver and gold wax catchers are good accessory gifts for a Jewish home.
- A wide variety of dinnerware options provide gift givers with another category of presents. A challah board to cut challah, a Jewish bread, is one gift idea. Honey dishes are a choice gift idea to celebrate Rosh Hashanah. Platters for serving favorite family recipes are sure to please Jewish families as well.
- Tzedakah boxes are small decorated boxes used to keep loose change. They work as an ideal gift for a bar or bat mitzvah. Artwork depicting the star of David, a menorah, inscriptions in Hebrew or depictions of scenes in the Torah are also widely accepted among Jewish families.
