The Jewsletter's First Hanukkah Gift Guide
21 of My Favorite Jewish-Owned Gifts
When I love something, I don’t want to keep it to myself, so I am sharing my favorite Jewish-created gifts with you — some are Jewish-themed, and some are simply Jewish-Owned, yet all support the Jews. And a reminder, Hanukkah this year begins December 25th (Hashem is so funny!) and ends on January 2nd.
A menorah that is a work of art. Think of it as an investment piece that you will keep out all year long because it is just that darn beautiful. We are gaga over Hannah Polskin’s creation.

Time to celebrate her Jewness? Look no further than the best chai around, designed by Elisa Solomon, and Dalia T’s “Never Forget” Gold Tag with a diamond that will earn her more compliments than she can manage. And for the final layering touch, this Israel Forever necklace, a Miriam Merenfeld + Eitan Chitayat collaboration will complete the look.
You can’t go wrong with Jewish designer brand Ramy Brook’s Harriet top. It is the perfect resort or summer go-to piece, designed to be tied six different ways.
And this classic four in one game set will add warmth and style to any home. In fact, when we visit Domani Home’s beautifully curated gift collection, owned by Jewish Founder Leah Prag, there is no gift we wouldn’t be happy to receive.
Last but not least, the coziest sweater I own - Am Yisrael Chai by Lana Platin Creative. And for the smaller nights, check out her unisex socks.
Finally, if you have a friend who would be worthy of your recommendations, but not worthy enough to be on your gift list, please generously share this gift guide with them.
Wishing you a healthy and happy Hanukkah,
