Kiddush

Not to be confused with Kaddish.

Kiddush (Hebrew: קִידּוּשׁ, lit. 'sanctification'; Hebrew pronunciation: [ki'duʃ], /ˈkɪdɪʃ/, or [qid'duːʃ]) is a blessing recited over wine or grape juice to sanctify Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Additionally, the word refers to a small repast called an oneg (עֹנֶג, 'pleasure') held on Shabbat and holidays after the prayer services and before the meal.
