The Origin and Observance of Kiddush in Judaism
Kiddush ceremony in Hebrew means “holy” and refers to a ceremony held before a meal during Shabbat and other Jewish holidays. This ceremony, which has been held for thousands of years, indicates a division between regular workday status and a Saturday holiday. The ceremony is held at the beginning and at the end of these days. It includes drinking wine from an ornamental silver cup after the blessing. The wine is then evenly distributed between all participants of the meal in special cups.
Often, many guests are present on Sabbath and holiday dinners
It creates a situation in which many people have to drink some of the wine used during the Kiddush. Wine fountains were designed to make this process convenient. The purpose of the blessing of wine is to sanctify it. This means that we take something simple and give it some spiritual meaning. This is indeed the goal of life in accordance with the Jewish tradition, namely, to change something simple and even negative and turn it into something beautiful that honors God.
Design of Wine Fountain
The Wine Fountain consists of one central Kiddush silver blessing cup and Kiddush cups used for family and guests. The number of small cups can reach eleven or even eighteen, but they always correspond to the number of holes in the fountain. Kiddush fountains are made with a large tray. It has several small feet on the outer edge.

Now you can find a colorful assortment of ceramic cups for babies with drawings from the Bible, Images of Israel, and also birds and flower motifs. There are gorgeous plastic cups.
