Kiddush

The sanctification of Shabbat over a cup of wine. It opens with the Torah's words about the first Shabbat, then the blessing over the wine you'll use all year.

Yom hashishi. Vay'chulu hashamayim v'ha'aretz, v'chol-tzeva'am.

The sixth day. The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their array.

Kiddush opens with the verse from Genesis describing the first Shabbat — the day creation was completed.

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha'olam, borei p'ri hagafen.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

The blessing over the wine — said over a full cup. You'll say it over wine all year.
