# In order to fulfill this obligation, one should drink most of a cup that contains at least a [[reviit]]. <ref> S"A 272:13. For how much a reviit is see [[Reviit]]. Mishna Brurah 272:30 rules that the obligation to have most of a reviit applies regardless of which drink you use for kiddush. Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank in Har Tzvi 1:159 says that since the Taz (210:1) holds that one would be obligated to say a beracha acharona on less than a reviit of liquor because less than that already is considered to be significant enough for a beracha acharona, the same would apply for how much you need to drink for kiddish. Mishna Berura 190:14 disagrees about the beracha acharona as well, quoting the Magen Avraham 190. </ref>

# In the days of the gemara, the Rabbis instituted a Kiddish in shul for the travelers who would eat and drink in the Shul. Even though nowadays this isn't the case, some hold that the practice remains, while others say that it's preferable not to make Kiddish in Shul. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 269:1 writes that it's preferable not to follow this minhag. However, Mishna Brurah 269:5 writes that this is the common minhag and one shouldn't uproot it. </ref>
