Kiddush

The root for the word vWDqi is vdq, to sanctify or to set apart. As Shabbat begins, we sanctify it with the vWDqi. The vWDqi includes the blessing over wine and the blessing which follows it, up to the words, tB;V'h' vDEq'm],"who sanctifies the Shabbat." vWDqi is a prayer for the home, to be recited at the Shabbat table at the beginniin of the festive meal. Wine for the vWDqi is the symbol of our joy. If wine or grape juice are not available, though, it is even permitted to say vWDqi over challah. In earlier times, the synagogue was a place where travelers would spend the night. The vWDqi was then recited in the synagogue at the end of the Friday night service, so that these travelers could share in the joy of vWDqi before retiring to their rooms. This custom continues today. vWDqi Candle Blessing Kiddush Festive Meal Shalom Aleichem Birkat Hamazon Hamotzi 12 vWdqi wOvdÒq; tB'v'wÒ And the holy Shabbat Wnl;yjinÒhi ÷wOxr:b]W hb;h}a'B] wOvdÒq; tB'v'wÒ With love and with favor, You have given us the holy Shabbat as an inheritance hb;h}a'B] with love ÷wOxr:b]W and with favor ÷wOrK;zI a reminder hce[}m'l] of the works of tyviarEB] creation wOvdÒq; tB'v'wÒ And the holy Shabbat hb;h}a'B] with love ÷wOxr:b]W and with favor Wnl;yjinÒhi You have given us as an inheritance ÷wOrK;zI a reminder hce[}m'l] of the works of tyviarEB] creation Wnl;yjinÒhi You have given us as an inheritance Wnl;yjinÒhi ÷wOxr:b]W hb;h}a'B] wOvdÒq; tB'v'wÒ3 ³÷p,G:h' yrIP] arEwOB ,µl;/[h; Jl,m, Wnyhel¿aÔ y:yÒ hT;a' JWrB; wyt;wOx]miB] Wnv;DÒqi rv,a} ,µl;/[h; Jl,m, Wnyhel¿aÔ y:yÒ hT;a' JWrB; ÷wOrK;zI ,Wnl;yjinÒhi ÷wOxr:b]W hb;h}a'B] wOvdÒq; tB'v'wÒ ,Wnb; hx;r:wÒ ,vd
