The cup must hold a <i>revi&#039;it</i> of liquid.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddush#cite_note-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddush#cite_note-1" rel="nofollow">[1]</a> A <i>revi&#039;it</i> is between 161.5 millilitres (5.68 imp fl oz; 5.46 US fl oz) (Rabbi <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avrohom_Yeshaya_Karelitz" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avrohom_Yeshaya_Karelitz" rel="nofollow">Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz</a>)<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddush#cite_note-2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddush#cite_note-2" rel="nofollow">[2]</a> and 90.7 millilitres (3.19 imp fl oz; 3.07 US fl oz) (Rabbi <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avraham_Chaim_Naeh" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avraham_Chaim_Naeh" rel="nofollow">Avraham Chaim Naeh</a>).<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddush#cite_note-3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiddush#cite_note-3" rel="nofollow">[3]</a> After the person reciting the kiddush drinks from the wine, the rest of it is passed around the table or poured out into small cups for the other participants. Alternatively, wine is poured for each of the participants before kiddush.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before reciting <i>kiddush</i>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challah" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challah" rel="nofollow">challah</a>, which will be the next food item eaten in honor of the Shabbat or holiday, is first covered with a cloth. According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halakha" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halakha" rel="nofollow">Halakha</a>, the blessing over bread takes precedence to the blessing over wine. However, in the interests of beginning the meal with <i>kiddush</i>, the challah is covered to &quot;remove&quot; it from the table (some do not have the challah on the table at all during <i>kiddush</i>). Some interpret the covering of the challah allegorically, explaining that if we are supposed to go out of our way to protect even an inanimate object (the bread) from being &quot;insulted&quot; (by the blessing over wine taking precedence), then certainly we must go out of our way to display sensitivity toward the feelings of other people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
