Our Top Hanukkah Gift Ideas
With Hanukkah just around the corner, beginning on 25th December this year, we’re here to help you celebrate the Jewish holiday by helping you find beautiful gifts to surprise your loved ones with.
Celebrating one of the greatest miracles in Jewish history, Hanukkah remembers the battle won over 2,000 years ago by the Maccabees, who fought to be able to celebrate their religion freely.
With our Jewish heritage, Hanukkah is such an important time for many here at Beaverbrooks. Our Chairman Mark Adlestone is incredibly passionate about supporting the Jewish community, especially within Manchester. We caught up with Mark, Chloe from our Jewellery Buying Team, and Amanda, our Head of People Engagement. They’re all part of the Jewish community and we wanted to hear about the gifts they would love to give their favourite people this Hanukkah.
