A silver Kiddush cup is a beautiful way to bring Jewish traditions into your home. The cup is used for reciting blessings before drinking wine or grape juice at the beginning of Jewish holidays and Shabat.

The cup itself is usually engraved with words of blessing to God or symbols like stars of David, vines, lions or flowers. It is a very popular Judaica item and also makes the perfect wedding gift or for any special occasion.

It is customary to use the Kiddush cup at every Jewish holiday and occasion. It is important to keep in mind that the cup does not need to be made of silver, it can be made from other metals too or even from glass or regular ceramic. Nevertheless, the majority of people use a silver Kiddush cup.

Many people prefer to have a separate Kiddush cup for each family member. It is more convenient to drink from a separate cup and not worry about sharing a dirty cup with someone else who has been eating fried food or has been touching unwashed hands.

The Mishna in Pesachim (90a) states that the wine used for Kiddush should be red. However, the Rishonim argue that this only applies to wine whose fermentation has been completed and not to any other type of wine. In any case, it is advisable to always use a high quality wine for making the Kiddush. Those who cannot drink wine may instead pour a little red wine into a white glass of grape juice to fulfill the requirement of drinking the wine.כוס קידוש מכסף
