Hanukkah Gift Guide: Spilling 36 Ways You Can Show Up Proudly Jewish This Season

For those who’ve been here a while, you know The Chai Tea has always been about one thing: giving you simple, actionable ways to show up for the Jewish community every single week. When I put it on hold earlier this year, it wasn’t because the need disappeared, it was because my time did. Between my work, my advocacy, and the travel that came with it, I simply couldn’t keep up in a way that felt meaningful or sustainable.

But things have shifted. I recently brought on support in my business (a huge step forward), and it means one important thing: The Chai Tea is coming back. While this is my passion project, it is something I LOVE to do, and I am working out a way in which I can sustain it for all of us. In the new year, you’ll see what 2.0 looks like. It will be more intentional, more organized, and more aligned with how we all need to show up right now.

If you have a Jewish owned business you would like me to consider featuring, please fill out this form.

If you have an event supporting the Jewish community in the New Year, please share it here.

Today, though, we’re bringing things back with something special:
The Chai Tea Hanukkah Gift Guide: Spilling 36 Ways to Show You’re Proudly Jewish This Season

These are products, books, brands, and makers who celebrate who we are—loudly, proudly, and without apology. And because Hanukkah is the season of giving, we’re taking it one step further…

For all eight nights (actually, ten—because why not?), we’ll be giving many of these gifts away on Instagram. Make sure you’re following me over @lindsaypinchuk so you don’t miss a single one. We kick off the giveaways on Monday, December 1.

I’m so excited to share this guide, to celebrate our community, and to bring The Chai Tea back in a way that feels both impactful and sustainable.

Let’s shine some light—louder and brighter than ever.

Wishing you all an amazing start to the season of giving,

Lindsay Pinchuk

Founder, The Chai Tea
