# One shouldn't say Kiddish before Tzet HaChochavim. <ref> chazon ovadia pesach page 1, shu"t chazon ovadia 1. Rosh Pesachim 10:2 writes that the night of [[Pesach]] is special that we don't do the mitzvot before night even though by [[Shabbat]] and other [[Yom Tov]]im we hold that one can add from the weekdays to the [[Shabbat]] or [[Yom Tov]]. Thus, Tur writes that one shouldn't eat the meal before night night. Bet Yosef 472:1 quotes the Trumat hadeshen 137 that rules that even the Kiddish which is part of the four cups of the Seder must be done at night. So rules S"A 472:1 that Kiddish and the rest of the mitzvot of the night need to be done during the night. The Taz 472:1 gives another reason the Kiddish must be done at night; because the Kiddish is done in order to eat the [[Matzah]] and have Kiddish BeMakom Seudah, just like the [[Matzah]] has to be at night so too does the Kiddish. Chazon ovadia pesach page 1 says that you don't need to wait until [[Tzet HaKochavim]] according to rabbeinu tam's calculation. </ref>
