Any ideas?
A gift certificate for a divorce lawyer.
Why would you give a gift, which sorta says you give a “blessing” to this defilement of Gd?
Buy something related to the role of preceptor.
Joe: Although everyone will agree that what is being done is incorrect, your suggestion will only hurt your cause. Ezehu Chacham HaRoeh Es Hanolad.
I would suggest a Kosher Mezzuza, and you go “help” them put it up properly so that the party can get a Mitzva. As we know, Mitzva Goreres Mitzva, so that could start the path.
Doesn’t giving a gift show approval of intermarriage?
yitzchok & yaakov, i think you misunderstood. The OP is not giving a wedding gift. Just a gift.
I like the mezuzah idea, but I wonder if there’s a problem with putting a mezuzah in a position where it’s likely to be disposed of disrespectfully?
My Rav poskened that I could not give a wedding gift in this situation.
Who is the Jewish Partner, If the woman is jewish and there are Kids. I think the answer is very different than if the man is jewish and there are kids
We don’t treat a man or woman differently if he/she intermarries. Either way, they should be sat shiva for.

Or am I the one who misunderstood??
Wedding gift- probably bad idea. Ask.
I’m not the resident CR poseik so I decline to suggest an answer.
Omg! (Is this a troll or r we just bein dense?)
Peeps! She is a person. First and foremost. An act of kindness shouldnt be coming with ideas on how to “help” her. It should be to build a relationship. And out of love for her- ur family. Without Judgement! If I wasnt religious and was reading this because I was curious about the inside lives of the Yeshivish World Id be so unimpressed right now.
I did not gift a gift in this situation, and the bride was my husband’s niece. We also did not go to the wedding, and there were some repercussions for a while, until my sister-in-law’s husband passed away.
SHE IS NOT ASKING ABOUT A WEDDING GIFT! she is asking about a thank you gift to her preceptor, the person who guided her on the floor for a bit.
hudi,we used to give coffee and donuts + a card to the floor and instructor. never had a preceptor (yet, IY”H soon). Did she/he ever say “i’d really like X”?
What about a jewish cookbook. Traditional foods have gone a long way in bringing people back.
Mezuzahs, so they can keep an easy mitzva.
Gavra_at_work very well said…sounds great! misva gorreres misva! I love that
