Kiddush is a prayer that welcomes Shabbat into the home. It is traditionally said by the father of the family, but anyone can say it.
The Kiddush prayer is said over wine before eating a meal at the beginning of Shabbat. The word “kiddush” means sanctification, and this prayer is considered to be one of the most important parts of Shabbat.
In Hebrew, Kiddush begins with “Baruch Ata Adonai,” which means “Blessed are You, Lord.” It then continues with “hag sameach,” which means “happy holiday,” followed by a list of blessings that God has given us on this special day.

Kiddush is a blessing that is said on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. It comes from the Hebrew word “kiddushin,” which means “sanctification.” The kiddush prayer is recited over wine, which symbolizes joy and celebration.
Kiddush can be recited at any point during Shabbat or a holiday, as long as it’s after sunset but before the Sabbath ends. Those who are hosting a Friday night dinner will typically recite kiddush before their guests arrive.
In addition to wine, kiddush might also be made with other alcoholic beverages such as brandy or whiskey. However, if you’re unable to drink alcohol for health or religious reasons, you can substitute grape juice for your beverage of choice.
The Kiddush is a prayer that is recited before eating bread on Shabbat. It is traditionally said over wine or grape juice, but it can be recited with any drink. The prayer celebrates the Sabbath and gives thanks for the gift of freedom from work.
The Kiddush was originally a blessing for wine, which was drunk at Passover to remember how God had freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The blessing was then extended to include other forms of alcoholic beverages and eventually to non-alcoholic drinks as well.

And there was evening and there was morning,
the sixth day.
The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array. On the seventh day God finished the work that God had been doing, and God ceased on the seventh day from all the work that God had done. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because on it God ceased from all the work of creation that God had done.
