Kiddush
Kiddush (Hebrew: קידוש, literally, "sanctification") is the act of sanctifying Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) or a Jewish holiday through the act of reciting a blessing over a cup of kosher wine or kosher grape juice. Because the Torah speaks of Shabbat using the language Shamor v'Zakhor, keep it and remember it, Jews believe that Shabbat law consists both of what one may not do and what one must do in order to make the day special.
