Re: Eidi
Eidi in form of money is given to kids, so that perhaps they go out & get some thing nice to eat, have a fun time with their friends & cousins. but that is about it.
anyone getting a lot of money, in richer families, from their elders, is a bad thing for the child at any age, for a) they are not are of how best to use it for something they actually need or may need later & b) children will grow up thinking, that they can take that source of gifted income for granted, which will very well lead them to become lazy and less responsible.
