Shabbat
Shabbat is a celebration that begins on Friday night and continues through Saturday evening. On Friday night, Jewish families light the Shabbat candles and drink wine from a Kiddush cup to welcome in Shabbat. Families sing the blessings together and it is a time of peace and togetherness. We thank G-d for giving us a day of rest as we also think about creation.

Dad
We use this kiddush cup on Passover as Elijah's cup. It is very important to our family because my dad got it at his bar mitzvah. I am proud of my dad because he became bar mitzvah when he was an adult.
This kiddush cup is used on Passover but it could also be used on Friday night. We use it on Passover for Elijah's cup of wine. On Friday night we would also use it for the prayer over the wine or grape juice.
