Presenting a layering of meaning and sound, these word-plays permeate my experience of Genesis, and other familiar texts of prayer including the shabbat kiddush. |
The seder begins with kiddush over the first cup of wine and then moves on to hors d' oeuvres of sweetbreads in salt water passed around by a servant. |
The evening meal begins with the Kiddush, a blessing recited aloud over a cup of wine, and the Mohtzi, a blessing recited over the bread. |
If you never kept Shabbat, try lighting candles and making kiddush with your family. |
Two candle sticks, a Kiddush cup, two challahs and a challah knife provide kids with everything they need to share in the Shabbat traditions. |
It is only when the time comes for saying Kiddush that my father and the guest hold a Hebrew conversation. |
