Kiddush Cups and Sabbath Wine

The items used for a Jewish Shabbat are quite universal. A challah is placed, covered, on a challah board. Shabbat candlesticks are lit. And the Kiddish ceremony is held, which involves reciting a blessing over the wine. And following the completion of the prayer, everyone shares a portion of the wine.

Like many aspects of the Jewish Faith, the Kiddush Cup has many rules and regulations. It is not just an everyday glass. Kiddush Cups must be at least 4.5 ounces. They must be whole, as a Kiddush cup that is chipped or broken is no longer Kosher. And they also cannot be made of disposable matter, meaning that paper cups cannot be considered for Kabalat Shabbat, the coming in of the Sabbath.

The kind of wine that can be used has rules and regulations as well. Obviously, the wine must be kosher, which means the wine wasn’t handled by gentiles (non-Jews). An exception for this rule is if it is a cooked wine.

Another rule is that the wine must be fresh. If someone has already sipped from the Sabbath wine, it is deemed unfit. However, this too has a loophole, as just a drop of untainted wine put into the unfit win instantly renders it acceptable.

Kiddush cups are also used during the Havdalah ceremony, a beautiful ritual used to symbolize the end of Shabbat and the start of a new week.
