Rosh Hashanah 5787 begins at sundown on Friday, September 11, 2026, and runs through nightfall on Sunday, September 13. If you are heading to a holiday table, hosting one, or thinking of someone far away, this is the season for gifts that carry a wish: a sweet new year, a strong new year, a proud one.
The most Rosh Hashanah gift there is: the pomegranate
The pomegranate is the fruit of the holiday. Its many seeds stand for a year filled with merits, and it sits on the holiday table in every Jewish community on earth. That is what makes Pomegranate Earrings ($34.95) the signature gift of this season: the symbolism does the talking, and they get worn all year.
For her
Star of David pieces are the gift that never misses. The Shalom Star of David Necklace ($39.95) pairs the star with the word every new year hopes for. The Elegant Opal Star of David Necklace ($39.95) catches light the way the holiday candles do. For something quieter, the Delicate Star of David Studs ($16.95) work every single day of 5787.
For him
The Eternal Star of David Ring ($39.95) has been our most loved piece this year, and the Men's Emblem Star of David Ring ($43.95) is the heavier, statement version. If he is more of a shirt guy, the Shofar So Good T-Shirt ($24.95) is the only pun that is actually welcome at the holiday table.
For the host
Walking into dinner on erev Rosh Hashanah? The Jewish Symbols Charm Bracelet ($28.95) gathers the hamsa, the star, and friends into one piece, a little like the holiday table itself. And Dead Sea skincare makes a spa-grade hostess gift with roots in Israeli soil.

The bottom line
A Rosh Hashanah gift does not need to be big. It needs to mean something. Pomegranates for a year of merits, a star for pride, shalom for the wish underneath it all. Shanah tovah u'metukah, a good and sweet year.
