What makes a gift meaningful? From weddings and Bānai mitzvah to welcoming a new baby and comforting someone in mourning, Rabbis Lara Tessler and Loren Filson Lapidus explore the art of gift giving throughout Jewish life. The conversation covers everything from the Jewish significance of giving gifts in multiples of 18 to choosing Judaica, navigating registries, and finding thoughtful ways to support loved ones during lifeās happiest and most difficult moments. Along the way, they share personal stories, practical advice, and a reminder that the most meaningful gifts arenāt always the most expensive. Ultimately, gift giving is about more than what we bring. Itās about showing up, celebrating together, and offering comfort when it matters most. A note to our listeners: This episode was recorded a few months ago.
