Silver Kiddush Cups

Silver Kiddush cups have always been a famous trademark for Jewish life. Many Jewish people who are non observant still maintain this long lasting tradition of sanctifying the Sabbath and holidays. In many families there are ancient cups passed on from generation to generation, silently telling the story of the Jewish people.


There are two major designs in Kiddush cups. The first is a goblet like cup, with a stem and a base. Think is more popular amongst the Ashkenazi Jews. The Sephardic Jews usually use a cup without a stem or a base and hold it in the palm of their hands. Another great form of these cups are fantastic baby Kiddush cups, which can be used by children and toddlers, introducing them to tradition at a young age. The Kiddush cups also make for wonderful Bar Mitzvah gifts, as we celebrate the entrance of a young boy into the adult Jewish life.

In today's world of Judaica gifts, there are fabulous modern designs alongside the traditional cups. These include magnificent enamel designs, hammered texture, Jerusalem designs and of course wonderful filigree designs and intricate Yemenite designs, all of which make silver Kiddush cups a must item in your silver collection.
