What type of gift is appropriate for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah child?
If your child is attending their friend s affair, generally a check in the amount of $36 (double Chai) is a nice gift (or a multiple of Chai – $18), depending on how close the friendship. Some families offer checks, tributes, donations, or purchase presents, again depending on whether it is a relative or friend, closeness of the two families, or how many people are attending from your family. Religious items, such as menorahs are also nice gifts. See the Gift Suggestions page.
