It is a truth universally acknowledged that you’re going to receive some Judaica gifts for your Jewish wedding.

No matter how much you’d prefer that everyone contribute to your honeymoon fund, there are always going to be a handful of guests who are set on purchasing something tangible for your Jewish home.

I didn’t have a Judaica registry (or even know such a thing existed!) when I got married in 2013, and I ended up receiving some well-meaning Judaica gifts that were just not my style at all. If I could do it again, I’d absolutely set one up – because making it easy for loves ones to select items you’ll be as thrilled to receive as they are to give is a win-win. 

And the Jewish Museum Shop is the very best place to do just that. Located inside New York City’s Jewish Museum, on the Upper East Side’s Museum Mile, the Jewish Museum Shop specializes in Judaica and gifts that fit all tastes and lifestyles, from traditional, to contemporary; from formal for special occasions to casual and modern – and they offer international shipping, too. They also do gift cards, which are just the thing to give or get as wedding presents!

Their tastefully curated selection makes it a pleasure to pick out the pieces that are right for you – and the Jewish Museum Shop’s universal registry, which can by synced with registries from other retailers through MyRegistry.com, makes the process convenient and seamless. And best of all, every purchase supports the Jewish Museum – total win-win.
