Kiddush is a Hebrew word that literally means ‘sanctification’. It is a blessing recited over grape juice or wine to sanctify the Jewish and Shabbat holidays. The prayer is recited before the meal on the evening of the sabbath or festival. Many families have a special goblet or glass for the blessing; this vessel is called the Kiddush cup.
