Not $100.  Cash / gift cards should be multiples of $18.  So $72, $90, or $108.  [/quote]

Been Jewish my whole life, had a bat mitzvah, my kid had a bat mitzvah -- this whole "multiples of 18" thing feels like Cinquo de Mayo -- a legit cultural phenomenon among some groups that became wildly overblown with the internet. FYI.

Same experience and feeling here. [/quote]

Oh good!  Years ago, I was invited to my first bat mitzvah - the daughter of a friend from work.   I put a $20 bill in a card and have wondered if I caused some sort of cultural insult all these years later.  [/quote]

Only giving $20 was the insult. [/quote]

Why would you think/say that!  [/quote]

Because $20 is how much you spend on a 1st graders gift. Not on a 13 yr old who has spent years working towards this very important religious milestone. [/quote]

I spend $10-15 on elementary school gifts.  Stop being greedy.  Its not about the gifts.[/quote]
