how much to give for bat mitzvah gift
Chai is equivalent to 8 and yud is equivalent to 10. So âchaiâ, chet and yud together, equals 18. Giving money in multiples of $18 is symbolic of giving âchaiâ 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, donât spend money on gift cards or savings bonds.f your whole family is going, you should be giving in the nature of about $75 to $100 a person (half for your kids). So for a family of four with two adults and two kids about $300 would be an appropriate gift.
