All the Jewish Kitsch You Need This Summer

Happy summer, Alma readers! Sure, the season may not be quite as fun when you’re an adult and still have work to do and bills to pay — and yes, humidity is the actual worst — but hey, at least sandals are cute? To get you in the summer spirit, we’ve rounded up our favorite tanks, beach gear, summer camp throwbacks, and more — all with a decidedly Jewy twist, because, well, obviously. Happy shopping, happy summer, don’t forget to wear your sunscreen!!!

Tanks

Holy Schvitz Tank (Etsy, $22)

Because no matter what you’re doing this summer, there will be schvitzing involved.

A Humble Request:
Hey Alma's content is free because we believe everybody deserves to be a part of our radically inclusive Jewish community. Reader donations help us do that. Will you give what you can to keep Hey Alma open to all? (It's a mitzvah, ya know.)

It’s All Tov Tank (Etsy, $25)

Tov is Hebrew for good, so you can feel tov about this one.

First things first, no beach trip or pool party is complete without an everything bagel flotation device. That’s just a fact.
