Selecting the proper kosher gift for special holidays is always a great adventure. Whether buying for yourself or honoring the religious beliefs of close friends or relatives, bear in mind it takes a little bit of research to ensure the kosher food gifts are certified; however, the recipient will appreciate the fact that the time and care was taken to select such a special gift. There is a wide variety of kosher food gift items from which to select for the many holidays that adhere to Jewish dietary laws appropriate to the recognized holidays including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Chanukkah, Pesach, Sukkot and many others.
If planning to honor a friend on a specific holiday and presenting a bottle of wine is your preference, do the research to ensure the wine selected has in fact honored the agricultural laws to make kosher wine. Visit Kosher Wine Report to do a little research prior to purchasing the bottle of wine and try to select a wine appropriate to the holiday. For instance, a great recommendation for kosher wine for Rosh Hashanah is Recanati Petit Syrah. Made from a combination of 70 percent petit syrah and 30 percent zinfandel, the delicious wine is an Israeli blend that is a fragrant and spicy red wine. The retail price for a bottle of Recanati Petit Syrah is approximately $16.99.
Shiner Hefeweizen Beer is another excellent gift to give when visiting friends throughout the Jewish holidays, though finding the beer locally may be a challenge. If you plan in advance you may still be able to get your hands on the popular product by ordering kosher products online. Shiner Hefeweizen is brewed in Shiner, Texas, and it doesn't bear the Va'd symbol on the label; however, it is under the supervision of the Va'd in Detroit, Michigan, and it can be found online at Sam's.
Enstrom's makes an incredible almond toffee that meets the certification for kosher dairy products and offers a variety of kosher candy from which to select ideas for gift giving. The selection of kosher candy available includes milk chocolate, dark chocolate, toffee squares and toffee petites. Available in 4- or 5-pound boxes as well as in gift tins, the delicious toffee can be purchased from the official Web site.
If in doubt as to certification when purchasing a kosher food gift item look for the OU seal. When purchasing in a shop, ask the shopkeeper. Another excellent way to stay informed about kosher gift giving particularly as it pertains to food items is to visit the Web site OUkosher.org, which provides a wealth of information regarding kosher certification including newly certified products. Ensure that the kosher gift you give for the holidays is certified and take pride in doing the research to enjoy the act of kosher gift giving.
