Hiding in caves gets boring. With no alternative to a kiddush cup, the sun rapidly setting on a Friday evening in the desert calls for swift swigs.
Region surprises Kiddush. Dr. Jerry Agrest, Past International President, FJMC Congregation Beth Shalom, Northbrook, Illinois with a birthday cake.
There is an obligation to drink four cups of wine (or pure grape juice) during the Seder. The Mishnah says (Pes. 10:1) that even the poorest man in Israel has an obligation to drink. Each cup is connected to a different part of the Seder. The first is for Kiddush (קידוש), the second is for 'Magid' (מגיד), the third is for Birkat Hamazon (ברכת המזון) and the fourth is for Hallel (הלל).
The Four Cups represent the four expressions of deliverance promised by God Exodus 6:6-7: "I will bring out," "I will deliver," "I will redeem," and "I will take."
