A silver Kiddush cup is a must-have for any Jewish home. This is a special vessel used to sanctify the Sabbath, holidays and other special occasions by drinking wine from it. The Kiddush cup is typically made of sterling silver and can have various etchings or designs on it. Having a beautiful silver Kiddush cup set is a great way to add a sense of elegance and beauty to any table setting.
There are many types of Kiddush cups available on the market today. They can be made from anodized aluminum pewter, sterling silver 925 and even onyx stone. One can also find some with a 14k gold coating in the inside which helps preserve the taste of the wine. It is important to always wash the silver Kiddush cup by hand and never put it in a dishwasher as this can damage the material. It is also recommended to only use non-abrasive chemicals when cleaning the cup as these can be harsh on it and cause scratches.
It is also important to make sure the Kiddush cup is full of wine for making a blessing over it. While many people may believe it is acceptable to recite a Kiddush over grape juice it is important to remember that the word “Kiddush” means sanctification and that this only works when it is wine that is drunk from the cup. One should never drink grape juice or other beverages from a Kiddush cup without making the proper blessings.כוס קידוש מכסף
