 Cartier for Wiesenthal: We've written in the past on the high cost of being Jewish, and lest we forget that burden, the Simon Wiesenthal Center has thought of an even more expensive way to celebrate the holidays. Courtesy of Cartier, yes that famous designer of jewelry and other accessories, you can now get ornate gift cards for Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah. That is to say if you weren't already inundated with the High Holidays, you can spend exorbitantly to plan ahead to Chanukah.
Just how pricey are these lovely little cards, you ask? Ten of the Rosh Hashanah cards will cost you $60, with 100 going for a paltry $695. Believe it or not, the Chanukah cards cost more, adorned with a gold menorah. It'll cost you $70 for ten and $750 for 100. Don't worry, the envelopes are free. Nonetheless, as ridiculously expensive as it may be, it is going to the good cause of supporting the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Fighting bigotry, celebrating the holidays, and draining your pocket book -- all for some custom made cards.
