My family is invited to a Bar Mitzvah for the son of an old dear friend whom we see once a year. What is an appropriate gift? If I am giving $ how much should I give? BTW, we live on opposite coasts and can not attend. I would still like to give something nice. Thanks in advance!

Traditionally, in a bar mitzvah, when giving cash, it is given in factors of 18. so like 36, 54, and so on. The hosts will be surprised that you know this custom.

Jewish Bar Mitzvahs are very pricey b-day parties. Consider spending 100 to 600 dollars.
