Hanukka celebrations include family and tradition, good food and get-togethers and, of course, dreidel showdowns and the lighting of the menora. And yet it has also become a time when we give in to our consumer side. 

So whether you prefer to give gelt on Hanukka or indulge in that perfect gift for loved ones, the range of Judaica and Israeli-made items is impressive, from beautiful and trendy jewelry by Israeli designers and a gorgeous, limited-edition art book to kitschy-cute comic relief candy bars and T-shirts.
