It is only when the time comes for saying Kiddush that my father and the guest hold a Hebrew conversation. |
If you never kept Shabbat, try lighting candles and making kiddush with your family. |
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. |
And the guest took the cup of wine from my father's hand, and recited a Kiddush. |
Our Kiddush prayers were done with gefilte fish and grape juice instead of wine. |
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. |
