What are good Judaica gifts?

Pieces used year after year at meaningful moments: a seder plate or matzah plate for Passover, a kiddush cup for Shabbat, a mezuzah for a new home, a honey dish for Rosh Hashanah, a tzedakah box, or a menorah for Hanukkah – in handcrafted metal, hand-painted porcelain and crystal.

  • Choose a seder plate if the family hosts Passover – it is the centerpiece of the table.
  • Choose a mezuzah if it is a housewarming or Jewish wedding gift.
  • Choose a honey dish, like the Michael Aram Apple Honey Pot with Spoon, if you are a guest at a Rosh Hashanah dinner.
  • Choose pieces in one Michael Aram design – such as Pomegranate, Tree of Life, Olive Branch, White Orchid or Black Orchid – if the family wants a matching seder plate, kiddush cup, mezuzah and menorah.

Judaica gifts are pieces used year after year at the most meaningful moments: the seder plate brought out every Passover, the kiddush cup filled on Friday night, the mezuzah on the doorpost of a new home. Here is our guide to fine Judaica for every holiday and milestone – modern Judaica in handcrafted metal, hand-painted porcelain and crystal.

Paris Tableware & Gifts, a store in Ridgewood, New Jersey, carries Judaica from Michael Aram, Herend, Bernardaud, Lalique, Christofle and William Yeoward, and ships across the continental US with free shipping on orders over $150. Shop all Judaica.
