The Kiddush cup is required for the Kiddush (sanctification), which is the consecration of the Sabbath or festival day over a cup of wine at the family table. The Kiddush consists of a blessing over the wine and bread and a hymnal prayer for the day in question. From the domestic sphere, the Kiddush has also found its way into the synagogue liturgy. 11.8x6.5cm, silver-plated brass, donated by Mrs Schöneweiß, Vöhl-Obernburg
