Covering the Challah
- There are multiple reasons for covering the challah.
- Even if one is not going to make Kiddish oneself but rather hear it from someone else one should still cover the challahs. [1]
If started a meal Friday afternoon
- If one started a meal during Friday afternoon (before 9 hours) and now Shekiah comes, one should cover the bread, make Kiddish, and then finish the meal. [2]
- If one had wine during the meal of Friday afternoon, when one makes Kiddish one doesn’t say Borei Pri HaGafen nor HaMotzei. [3]
- If one doesn’t have wine and so, one makes Kiddish on bread one shouldn’t make HaMotzei. [4]
Retzeh in Birkat HaMazon
- On Shabbat one should add Retzeh in the middle of the third Bracha of Birkat HaMazon. [5]
- If one forgot Retzeh and one realized:
- before saying Hashem’s name at the end of the third Bracha one should return to Retzeh and then continue from there. [6]
- after saying Hashem’s name but before saying Boneh Yerushalayim one should immediately say למדני חוקיך which is the conclusion of a פסוק in Tehillim and then return to Retzeh and continue from there. [7]
- after finishing the third Bracha before starting the fourth Bracha one should insert a special Brachaברוך אתה ה' אלקינו מלך העולם שנתן שבתות למנוחה לעמו ישראל באהבה לאות ולברית ברוך אתה ה' מקדש השבת. [8]
- within the first six words of the fourth Bracha (ברוך אתה ה' אלקינו מלך העולם) one should continue with the special Bracha (שנתן...) mentioned in the last option. [9]
- after one said the seventh word in the fourth Bracha one should continue and not repeat Birkat Hamazon. [10]
- If the meal extended until after sunset on Shabbat, Yom Tov, etc. and one has to insert the special Bracha between the third and fourth Bracha this special Bracha should be said without Shem UMalchut meaning one should just say ברוך שנתן…[11]
Setting the table
- One should set one's table nicely, make Kiddish, wash, make HaMotzei, and have a nice meal for Shabbat day. [12]
Kiddish during the day
- The text of Kiddish during the day is just Borei Pri Hagefen. [13] However, many have the minhag to say Pesukim before saying the Bracha. Some say two paragraphs "Veshamaroo" and "Zachor". Some skip to the last sentence of "Zachor" starting with "Al cen berach" before saying the bracha on the wine, however, some authorities discourage this practice. [14]
Eating before Kiddish
- It's forbidden to taste anything before Kiddish. [15] This law also applies to women. [16]
- It's permissible to drink water before Shacharit on Shabbat day since the obligation of Kiddish doesn't apply until one prayed. [17]
Kiddish in the place of a meal
- Kiddush of the day must also be made in the place of a meal. [18]
Wine for Kiddish
- If there's no wine available one may use Chamar Medina which is beer or another drink which is common in that place but not water. If one doesn't even have Chamar Medina, one should say hamotzi and eat the bread and if one doesn't even have bread, one may eat without Kiddish. [19]
Shabbat Zemirot
- After having eaten one's fill it's proper to sing Zemirot (songs) of praise to Hashem. [20]

- ↑ S”A 271:4 writes that one doesn’t make a Borei Pri HaGafen as the wine is already covered from the wine earlier in the meal. Mishna Brurah 271:18 says because of Safek Brachot one doesn’t make another HaMotzei.

- ↑ Chaye Adam 47:16 writes that if one realizes after having said Baruch Atta Hashem one should conclude with למדני חוקיך so that Hashem’s name isn’t in vain and then one may return to Retzeh. Mishna Brurah 188:22 agrees. [See Igrot Moshe 4:93 who disagrees with the Mishna Brurah regarding inserting למדני חוקיך in Shemona Esreh.]
- ↑ S”A 188:6. The S”A HaRav 188:9 writes that the logic behind this is that as long as one didn’t begin the fourth Bracha it’s as though one is still in middle of the third Bracha. The reasoning here is based on the discussion in S”A 114 (see Yaaleh VeYavo in Shemona Esreh section).
- ↑ Mishna Brurah 188:23 quotes the Chaye Adam 47:18 who says that if one is still within the first six words of the fourth Bracha one may continue with the special Bracha insertion and then start the fourth Bracha again. Even though the Biur Halacha D”H Ad says a doubt about this Chaye Adam the Halachos of Brachos (pg 515-6) rules like the Chaye Adam.

- ↑ Pesachim 106a writes that the primary Kiddish is at night but there's also a Kiddish of the day. Even though it seems to be Deorittah as the gemara learns it from a pasuk, the Rishonim agree that the pasuk is only an asmachta (Ravad and Magid Mishna (Hilchot Shabbat 29:10), quoted by Bear Heitiv 289:2) and the obligation of Kiddish during the day is only Rabbinic. The gemara concludes that the text of such a Kiddish is just Borei Pri HaGefen. Rambam (Hilchot Shabbat 29:10) and S"A 289:1 rule this as halacha.
- ↑ Mishna Brurah 289:2
- ↑ Rambam (Hilchot Shabbat 29:10) and S"A 289:1 rule that since there's an obligation to make Kiddish it's forbidden to eat anything before Kiddish just like the Kiddish of Friday night.
