[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the point of the event is to enrich the college savings account. Perhaps it becomes that for grandparents and close family members. But for the bus stop buddy it is a birthday gift..an itunes card..a book..earrings. [/quote] A bar/bat mitzvah is in fact NOT a birthday party. It is a very special and important ritual and an honor that the child has worked very hard to achieve. I don't think an iTunes card or a book reflects the importance of the occasion. I know it seems weird to say that money is ok but a gift card isn't, but I think that's bc the idea is that the money usually gets pooled and goes to something larger or more important than the latest new direction album. I don't think money is the only possible gift, though. Something like a pretty chai or Star of David necklace for a girl is nice, or some other keepsakey type thing for a boy. Basically something that's nog going to get thrown away in 6 months. [/quote]
