Baby Kiddush Cups

Kiddush for Babies

These cups are a miniature version of the traditional Kiddush cups used for the Kiddush - a blessing recited over wine to purify the Jewish Shabbat and Holidays. The blessing can be recited over sweet or dry wine and grape juice, and is said before the meal on the eve and morning of the special Jewish day. Each Kiddush contains the blessing recited over the wine - ''Bore Pri HaGafen'', which translates - ''creator of the fruit of the vine''.

The two major designs of baby kiddush cups both of which are on our site. The Sephardic cup with no stem or base, and the Ashkenazi goblet like cup with a stem and a base. As these are special cups made for children, many of them have a handle to insure a stronger grasp of the cup. All our baby cups enjoy lovely designs, including amazing enamel work, beautiful Yemenite motifs, and the popular Yeled Tov and Yalda Tova decoration, which means - good boy or good girl. Also available is a great name cup, where you can have the child's name added to the cup.

Cups for Kids

All of the baby cups featured at Baltinester Bros. are entirely made of 925 marked sterling silver. They are all finely gilded (24k gold plated), gauranteeing that the sweet taste of the wine is not affected by the bitter taste of the silver, something which is very important to a child.

It is well known that a child's rearing is most important at the early stages of childhood. When you connect a young child to his heritage by giving him such a gift, you plant in him the seeds that will grow with him to adulthood, keeping the tradition alive within his soul. There is no greater experience for a child than to hold his own cup, like his Abba, giving him a feeling of connection and importance. A glorious gift any child would love to receive our splendid baby kiddush cup straight from the holy city of Jerusalem.
