Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas based on your son's interest in Jewish culture:

1. Jewish-themed books: You can consider gifting your son some books on Jewish history, traditions, and culture. There are many bestsellers like "The Jewish Holidays" by Michael Strassfeld or "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Judaism" by Benjamin Blech.

2. Menorah: This is a traditional Jewish candelabrum with nine branches that is lit during the eight days of Hanukkah. You can choose from a wide range of menorahs, including a classic Hanukkah menorah or an artistic one.

3. Tallit: It is a Jewish prayer shawl that is worn during prayer services. Consider gifting your son a beautiful tallit that he can use during Jewish ceremonies.

4. Hanukkah-themed gifts: Your son may appreciate Hanukkah-themed gifts like a dreidel, driedel game, or a Hanukkah themed T-shirt.

5. Hebrew-language study materials: If your son is interested in learning Hebrew or studying the Jewish language, you can consider gifting him books, learning apps, and programs to help him learn.

6. Jewish music: Jewish music like Klezmer music or Israeli pop can also be a great gift. You can buy him CDs or consider gifting a music streaming subscription.

7. Jewish art: Jewish art, paintings, or sculptures can also be a meaningful gift that he will cherish forever.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
