In addition to giving physical gifts, such as Judaica, jewelry, or books, gifts of money are traditional for a bar or bat mitzvah. So how should you present money at a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony and how much should you give? You may have heard about giving chai or 18 on Jewish occasions.
Giving money in multiples of $18 is symbolic of giving "chai" or life. There are many people who give money in multiples of $18 as presents to someone celebrating a birth, a bar or bat mitzvah or a wedding. If just your child is going to the bar mitzvah, don't spend money on gift cards or savings bonds.
Gifts are expected at bar and bat mitzvahs. The most common is giving money toward college or studies abroad in Israel. Many families end up donating a portion of cash to a charity. This custom is known as "tzedekah." You may also choose to make a direct donation to a charity in honor of the bar or bat mitzvah.
The Bar/Bat Mitzvah boy or girl will love receiving money. They just won't like the part where their parents take most of it away to put into a savings account for future use. If you're giving cash or check, the most common rule in Jewish gifting is to gift in multiples of $18.
Oh, sure, you could simply say congratulations to the Bar or Bat Mitzvah kid and his or her familybut why not put a Jewish spin on it? Mazel Tov (pronounced MAH-zel-toff) is the warm, traditional way to say congrats. With those words, you'll be a perfect mensch!
A gift in the order of something like triple 'chai' or $54 would be a neat idea to give from teenager to teenager at the bar mitzvah. If your whole family is going, you should be giving in the nature of about $75 to $100 a person (half for your kids).
