L'Chaim Kiddush Cup Set





Jews started to say "LeChaim" (which means "to life") before drinking wine to distinguish from this and to emphasize that drinking wine should be for life - (source: "Kol Boh" 25 s.v "U'B'Seudat").

Rebbe Nachman Kiddush Cup




Rebbe Nachman

Nachman of Breslov (Hebrew: נחמן מברסלב‎), also known as Reb Nachman of Bratslav, Reb Nachman Breslover (Yiddish: רב נחמן ברעסלאווער), Nachman from Uman (April 4, 1772 – October 16, 1810), was the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement.

Rebbe Nachman, a great grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, breathed new life into the Hasidic movement by combining the esoteric secrets of Judaism (the Kabbalah) with in-depth Torah scholarship. He attracted thousands of followers during his lifetime and his influence continues until today. Rebbe Nachman's religious philosophy revolved around closeness to God and speaking to God in normal conversation "as you would with a best friend." The concept of hitbodedut is central to his thinking.

General Information

Château Clarke, a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, was purchased by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, of Château Lafite Rothschild, in 1973. He set about completely replanting the vineyards and building a new state-of-the-art winery. Over the last twenty years, Clarke, along with its neighbors Chasse-Spleen, Poujeaux, and Malmaison have significantly raised the reputation of the outlying Médoc appellations of Moulis and Listrac.

Following an age-old Bordeaux tradition, Rose de Clarke was produced using "Saignee" of Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentation occurred naturally in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature. You will enjoy the intense and charming fresh raspberry and cherry flavors upon tasting Rose de Clarke. We recommend that you serve this wine at 55 degrees in order to appreciate its fruity freshness. It is best paired with light foods, such as chicken and salads.

Kiddush

Kiddush (Hebrew: קידוש‎, literally, "sanctification") is a blessing recited over wine or grape juice to sanctify the Shabbat, Jewish holiday or a Bat or Bar Mitzvah ceremony. The Torah refers to two requirements concerning Shabbat - to "keep it" and to "remember it" (shamor and zakhor). Jewish law therefore requires that Shabbat be observed in two respects. One must "keep it" by refraining from thirty-nine forbidden activities, and one must "remember it" by making special arrangements for the day, and specifically through the kiddush ceremony.

Reciting kiddush before the meal on the eve of Shabbat and Jewish holidays is thus regarded as a commandment from the Torah (as it is explained by the Oral Torah). Reciting kiddush before the morning meal on Shabbat and holidays, however, is a requirement of rabbinic origin. Kiddush is not usually recited at the third meal on Shabbat, although Maimonides was of the opinion that wine should be drunk at this meal as well.

The term kiddush is also used to refer to a ceremonial meal served at a synagogue following the recitation of kiddush at the conclusion of services, in which refreshments are served. Traditionally, this often includes cake, crackers, and fish.
