These bar and bat mitzvah gifts are worked out from the day the child was born.
Their Torah portion in large Hebrew, found from the date of birth. The moon on the night they were born, and on each Hebrew birthday up to this one. The Kinneret on their birthday, on a mug. Each one is drawn for them before you pay, then printed and shipped free.
Framed from $79, or $36 as a print.

One portion out of 54 is theirs.
The Torah is read through every year, a portion each Shabbat. The one read on the Shabbat of a bar or bat mitzvah is the portion they learn, chant and speak about, and it stays theirs for life.
If a festival takes the place of the regular reading that week, the print says so and gives the next portion. If the family has already set a different Shabbat, enter it and the print follows.
Two more gifts are about the child rather than the party.
Counting up to twelve or thirteen
The moon of the night they were born comes back on every Hebrew birthday.
The print shows the moon of the birth night and the moon of each Hebrew birthday up to the bat or bar mitzvah. Because the Hebrew months follow the moon, the twelve or thirteen small moons look almost alike.
Framed from $79, or $36 as a print.
For every morning after the party
The Kinneret's level on the day they were born appears when the mug is hot.
Any birthday since September 1966. The mug is black until something hot is poured in, and then the lake fills to the red line beside that day's reading.

Questions before you order
When should I order a bar or bat mitzvah gift?+
About three weeks before the ceremony for an address in the US, and four for Israel. Each print is made to order in two to five working days, then posted, and we email the tracking link the day it ships.
How do you find the portion?+
From the date of birth we work out the Hebrew date, then the Hebrew birthday at 12 or 13, then the first Shabbat on or after it, and the portion read that Shabbat in Israel or outside it, as you choose.
Our synagogue chose a different Shabbat. Can I use it?+
Yes. Enter the Shabbat of the ceremony and the print gives that week's portion instead.
Is it right for a bat mitzvah at 12?+
Yes. Choose bat mitzvah at 12 or bar mitzvah at 13 and the Hebrew birthday is counted to that age.
Can I send it straight to the family?+
Yes. Put their address in at checkout and it goes straight to them.
What if it arrives damaged or misprinted?+
