Narrative: In Judaism, kiddush is a ceremony of prayer and blessing over wine, performed by the head of a Jewish household at the meal ushering in the Sabbath (on a Friday night) or a holy day, or at the lunch preceding it. A silver goblet or cup is traditionally used to honor the mitzvah of reciting kiddush.
