The Kiddush cup is used in Kiddush (קידוש, "sanctification"), which is a blessing said over wine or grape juice before dinner and after the morning service on Shabbat and holidays. According to the Torah, we are to "observe/keep" and "remember" (שמור וזכור) Shabbat. We observe it by observing the 39 forbidden works and remembering it through specific rituals, the most important of which is kiddush. Kiddush cups are traditionally made of silver, but can be made of other materials as well. In the event that wine or grape juice is not available, the kiddush can be said over two loaves of bread. The morning kiddush can also be said over, for example, spirits or liquor.
