Kiddush (Hebrew:
קידוש, literally, "sanctification") is a blessing
recited over wine or grape juice to sanctify the
Shabbat or a Jewish holiday. The Torah refers to two
requirements concerning Shabbat - to "keep it" and
to "remember it" (shamor and zakhor). Jewish law
therefore requires that Shabbat be observed in two
respects. One must "keep it" by refraining from
thirty-nine forbidden activities, and one must
"remember it" by making special arrangements for the
day, and specifically through the kiddush ceremony.
Reciting kiddush before the meal on the eve of
Shabbat and Jewish holidays is thus regarded as a
commandment from the Torah (as it is explained by
the Oral Torah). Reciting kiddush before the morning
meal on Shabbat and holidays, however, is a
requirement of rabbinic origin. Kiddush is not
usually recited at the third meal on Shabbat,
although Maimonides was of the opinion that wine
should be drunk at this meal as well. |
