Kiddush cup (goblet)

Kiddush (Hebrew: sanctification) is a blessing recited over a cup of kosher red wine at the beginning of the Sabbath. The person leading the prayer and those present during the ceremony should taste the wine.

The Kiddush cup from the collection of the Education and Museum Centre "Świętokrzyski Sztetl" is adorned with geometric and floral ornaments, as well as depictions of houses.

The item belongs to a group of items that were donated to the Education and Museum Centre "Świętokrzyski Sztetl" on 29 August 2021 by Mr. Jacek Kłosowski. These Judaica items were kept in the home of Józef and Róża Kłosowski (around 1940) in Przemyślany (currently in Ukraine). The Kłosowski family received them from a Jewish family for safekeeping. After fleeing from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the Kłosowski family settled in Poland.
