A wedding marks the beginning of an entirely new Jewish home, and the gifts given to a chassan and kallah often become the foundational pieces of that home's Shabbos table, Torah library, and daily practice for decades to come. At Eichlers, we carry kittels, candlesticks, Shas sets, Shabbos silver, and meaningful Judaica suited to a couple building their first Jewish household together.
In many Ashkenazi communities, a chassan wears a kittel under the chuppah, and that same garment often becomes the one he wears every Yom Kippur and at the Pesach Seder for the rest of his life, making it one of the most meaningful and lasting wedding gifts possible. Choosing the right size and material, with cotton avoiding the shatnez concern that arises when worn together with a tallis, ensures the kittel serves him well for this single most significant day and every meaningful occasion that follows. Browse our kittels collection for the full range of styles and sizes.
A pair of candlesticks is among the most traditional and meaningful gifts for a kallah, marking her continued mitzvah of lighting Shabbos candles in a home now entirely her own. A quality sterling silver pair is built to last for generations, often becoming the centerpiece of the couple's Shabbos table for the rest of their married life and eventually passed down to a daughter of their own. Browse our candlesticks collection for styles ranging from classic to ornate.
A complete Talmud set, traditionally called a Chosson Shas when presented at an aufruf or wedding, is one of the most significant and enduring gifts in Jewish tradition, anchoring the couple's Torah library and reflecting the hope that Torah learning remains central to their new home. Whether in Artscroll, Oz Vehadar, or a beautiful antique leather binding, this gift is genuinely used for a lifetime of daily and Shabbos learning. Browse our Talmud sets collection for the right edition.
Beyond candlesticks, a couple's first Shabbos table benefits enormously from coordinated silver, a havdalah set for the close of Shabbos, a kiddush cup, and the smaller accessories that round out a complete table setting. These pieces are used every single week and often become the foundation around which a couple builds the rest of their Shabbos table over the years that follow. Browse our havdalah sets collection and our elegant Shabbos table gifts collection for coordinated options.
A beautifully bound siddur in the couple's nusach, ideally as a matching pair, equips them for daily davening from their very first Shabbos together as husband and wife. Personalizing each siddur with their names adds a lasting, individual touch that makes the gift genuinely theirs. Browse our siddurim collection to find the right nusach and format for their community.
A coordinated liquor set brings genuine elegance to the l'chaim moments a couple will share at their own future simchos, from sheva brachos through the bris and bar mitzvahs of children not yet born. These pieces are brought out specifically for celebratory occasions and often become associated with years of joyful family milestones. Browse our liquor sets collection for coordinated decanter and cup designs.
Consider both the couple's community and nusach, and whether you want to give a more personal, daily-use item or a substantial centerpiece for their home. A kittel and a Chosson Shas are deeply traditional, communally significant gifts, while candlesticks and silver pieces serve the couple's weekly Shabbos practice directly. For those unsure of specific preferences, store credit allows the couple to select exactly the editions, sizes, and styles that fit their new home.
Unlike many gifts given throughout life, wedding gifts often become the literal foundation of a couple's daily and weekly Jewish practice, the siddur they daven from, the candlesticks lit every Friday night, the Gemara learned from for decades. These items carry the memory of the giver alongside their practical use, making this one of the most meaningful gift-giving occasions in Jewish life.
Eichlers carries everything needed to help a couple build a beautiful and lasting Jewish home together.
