Bat Mitzvah Gifts

My friend has a Bat Mitzvah this summer. I've never been to one and do not know what kind of gift to give.
And what do you bring to him?
There are only three nights of different events

Gifts should not be put at the service of the synagogue. It is better to give the gift to the party or to engage in the child's home.

The same type of donation is an anniversary of 13 years is also suitable for a mitzvah bat. Mostly Jewish family gives gifts (such as kiddish cup, bag of Tallis, tefillin), so that your friends tend to give gifts more neutral. The best strategy Bat Mitzvah gift is asked parents what the child wants.

Some of today's popular gifts include books, music, magazine subscriptions, DVDs, computer games and video, software, camera, binoculars, knife, watches, skateboards and sleeping bag. Gift certificates and cash gifts also work well as Bat Mitzvah.

Some people give money in multiples of 18 as the Hebrew word for life (CHAI) has the numerical value of 18 in Judaism.

As for appropriate clothing, it depends if you want to be at the synagogue. The clothes are usually very formal, it is suggested that women wear either a dress or pantsuit, and the men wear a suit or slacks, tie and jacket. If a community is very strict, traditional, women are discouraged from wearing trousers.

Good luck with the celebrations.

You wear clothes Nice. Some parties will notice, and the service, which is usually in the morning? (Depends on the synagogue and its plans and all) must be beautiful, dressed in day clothes ... I have seen children come in cocktail dresses and they seem a bit irrelevant. daywear for day services. Evening dress for evening affairs.

The service is a religious service, so ... that you would wear to church ... assuming a fairly conservatively.

As for gifts ... friends are generally nice birthday gift ... as you would for any birthday party, a big one. If you want to get something meaningful, try thejewishsource.com In fact, they have a section just for B'nai Mitzvah ... Skip tallit and yarmulke fixed ... is something the family bought in general, and we really need one. Silver jewelry is always good. Religious symbols ... check through the jewelry section, as well.

Usually you give money.
a storehouse of "double" or luck is $ 36, thats basically unless you're supposed to do. Based on the duration or distance from the person you give more. If it is a good friend to give $ 50.
It's sort of like a communion or confirmation, if the figure how much you give to a friend for a communion or confirmation studies

money. It is the gift that most people give to bat mitzvah. and it is easy because you do not have to worry about what to look for, and she can spend it however she wants.
I have no idea what you should wear well, its probably a very formal event, so look for something nice.
