Jewish Birthday Plaques

The Jewish Birthday Plaque is a gift for your beloved or friends. The plaque suits the commemorating events of a child’s traditional Jewish education or the commemoration of every round decade of any person’s adult life, according to the appropriate citation from the Mishnah (Pirkei Avot) referring to that age (see list below).
For this plaques we use our Armenian Rosenfeld ceramic sign design.

Jewish Life Milestones

After choosing an inscription version from above (by the ADD TO CART buttons) you will be able to choose the requested age. The following list presents every age-stage with its prescribed personal activity or achievement.
For the text, we have retained the more traditional Hebrew spelling that appears in earlier printings, but facilitate a more fluent reading by adding the vowels (nikud).

The mentioned life milestones are:

Age 0
In case of a birth celebration of a newborn, please see our Hebrew Birth Plate.

Age 5
"At the age of five (a child is to start studying) the Bible" having learned to read before then).

Age 10
"At ten (a child is to start studying) the Mishna".
