Shabbat Morning Blessings: Kiddush

1. Fill a Kiddush cup with wine or grape juice.

2. Raise it and recite:

V’shamru v’nei Yisrael et HaShabbat, laasot et HaShabbat l’dorotam b’rit olam. Beini uvein b’nei Yisrael ot hi l’olam, ki sheishet yamim asah Adonai et hashamayim v’et haaretz, uvayom hashvi-i shavat vayinafash.

V’shamru v’nei Yisrael et HaShabbat,
laasot et HaShabbat l’dorotam
b’rit olam.
Beini uvein b’nei Yisrael
ot hi l’olam,
ki sheishet yamim asah Adonai
et hashamayim v’et haaretz,
uvayom hashvi-i shavat vayinafash.

 The people of Israel shall keep Shabbat,
observing Shabbat throughout the ages as a covenant for all time.
It shall be a sign for all time between Me and the people of Israel,
for in six days Adonai made heaven and earth,
and on the seventh day God ceased from work and was refreshed.

Al kein beirach Adonai et Yom HaShabbat vay’kadsheihu.

Therefore Adonai blessed the day of Shabbat and hallowed it.

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei p’ri hagafen.

Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

3. Drink the wine or grape juice.
