The Chumash is the Torah in printed form (as opposed to the scroll-based Torah). It makes for a fantastic gift for your loved one, regardless of occasion. There are many versions available for purchase, so it is important to take your time when you are selecting the perfect one for your recipient. When gifting this, you can create an instant family heirloom by leaving an inscription inside and looking into getting a custom cover. Before you make your final purchase, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Consider Preferences

The first thing you should consider is the personal preferences of the person receiving the gift. Most versions of the Chumash contain the Hebrew text with vowel marks segmented into Torah portions, together with translations and other notes. There are, however, other versions you can find, including the Chumash with Rashi commentary. This book is highly sought after by many scholars, as it contains invaluable notes and comments. Others may prefer to have a version with larger print, more notes, or a greater focus on the text itself. It can be hard to ask a person their specific preferences when you are trying to surprise them with a gift, but you should do what you can to find out more about their individual wants and needs. When giving a gift as meaningful and thoughtful as this, it pays to take the extra time to ensure it is absolutely perfect.

Consider the Occasion

Another thing you should consider is the occasion in question. Certain covers or styles may be more appropriate for certain occasions over others. For example, some may be sober in tone, perfect for commemorating an academic milestone or other occasion. Other versions are more decorative and are therefore ideal for celebrations, such as weddings. You should still consider the person’s nature and character when selecting an item based on occasion. Some people may prefer to have something more somber in tone for a wedding, for example.

Consider Custom Options

You should also strongly consider buying a customized version. This way you can tailor everything to your loved one’s needs, preferences, and the occasion in question. It is a great way to show someone that you care about their faith and want to help them celebrate and share their faith with God. Custom options are also great gifts for the elderly or those with special needs. You can create a gift with large font, for example, to ensure that your older loved ones can still read God’s word with ease.
