Jewish Ritual Items
Jewish ritual items generally revolve around Jewish holidays, although the more observant may utilize these goods every week and sometimes every day. Some of the most celebrated days in Judiasm include Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Passover, all of which involve dozens of rituals. Rosh Hashanah, a high holy day, is a day celebrating the new year (according to the Jewish calendar) with the holiday signifying a day of judgment by God. Members of the Jewish faith often pray during this day and attend service at a Synagogue. Yom Kippuris Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights. Aside from these four holidays, there are many others that encourage prayer, family time, and a celebration of the tradition. (For a complete list see
OU.org.)
As Gifts
At some point, you may need or want to give a traditional "Jewish" gift, but do be careful; if you're unsure the extent of their religious tradition, it's better to be on the safe side of caution and present a nice
Star of David bracelets.
