My dear Jewish school friends across Toronto and New York are reaching those beautiful milestones—weddings, brises, bar and bat mitzvahs, and even times of mourning—I knew that picking up something from Neiman Marcus or simply giving the traditional chai (multiples of 18) wasn't going to honor what these moments truly meant to us.
These aren't just friends; they're my chosen family. Each simcha, each sacred passage, deserved something that spoke to the depth of Jewish tradition and the love I have for them. I am grateful for having met Tara and her curation of Adara Rituals.
Adara understands that Jewish gift-giving isn't just about finding something beautiful—it's about finding something that carries meaning, that connects one to their heritage, and that honors the significance of life's most precious moments. Whether I'm celebrating a Jewish couple starting their journey together under the chuppah, welcoming a new baby into the covenant, or watching a young person become a bar or bat mitzvah, Adara helps me choose gifts that truly reflect the sacred nature of these occasions.
The thoughtfulness behind each piece, the attention to Jewish tradition, and the quality that speaks to the importance of these milestones—that's what makes Adara Rituals special. When it comes to celebrating the people who are family to my heart, Adara Rituals is helping me get it right! With gratitude (and relief!), Sharon Ng
