#In the days of the gemara, the Rabbis instituted saying [[Kiddish|kiddush]] in shul for the travelers who would eat and drink in the Shul. Nowadays, when guests don't eat their meals in shul, some say that its proper not to say Kiddush in shul, while others uphold this minhag to say Kiddush in shul on Friday night.<ref>The Gemara Pesachim 100b discusses the custom to recite kiddush on Friday night in shul. The Tur 269 writes that saying Kiddush in shul was only established in order to fulfill the obligation of Kiddush for the guests who would eat their meal in shul. He says that nowadays that guests don't eat their meal in shul one shouldn't say Kiddush in shul. The Beit Yosef 269 quotes the Rabbenu Yonah, Ran, and Rashba who defend this practice of saying Kiddush in shul even if guests don't even their meal in shul. Additionally, the Rambam (Sh"t Harambam 37) writes that this minhag shouldn't be discontinued because all establishments that the rabbis made must remain even if the reason no longer applies. Rashba responsa 1:37 and Maharam Chalavah Pesachim 101a agree. Nonetheless, the Bet Yosef writes that the more proper minhag is not to say Kiddush in Shul. Shulchan Aruch 269:1 rules that some have this practice to say Kiddush in shul, but that it is better not to. Mishna Brurah 269:5 writes that the common minhag is to say Kiddush in shul, and that one shouldn't uproot it. Yalkut Yosef 269:2 writes that if there are some in shul who will not say Kiddush at their homes at all, it is not just justified, but actually encouraged to say Kiddush in shul. If that is not the case, then a shul which doesn't yet have an established minhag shouldn't say  kiddush in shul, but if their minhag is to say it then they may continue to do so.

The gemara concludes that the text of such a [[Kiddish|Kiddush]] is just Borei Pri [[HaGefen]]. Rambam (Hilchot [[Shabbat]] 29:10) and Shulchan Aruch 289:1 codify this as halacha. </ref>

#Some authorities say that one may not use a plastic or paper cup for [[Kiddish|kiddush]], however, many authorities permit but agree that it's preferable to use a real cup.<ref>Sh"t Igrot Moshe O"C 3:39 forbids using a plastic or paper cup as they aren't considered a nice cup and it's worse off than a broken cup (which is forbidden by Shulchan Aruch 183:3. Mishna Brurah 183:11 says that even if it is just the base that is cracked one should still be strict.) The Radiance of [[Shabbos]] (page 44) points out that this doesn't depend on the quality of the plastic at all.

*However, Sh"t Tzitz Eliezer 12:23 differentiates between a cup that would be used for hot liquids and could be reused and one that's ruined after it's first use. Even if one personally doesn't reuse it, it is still considered a kli. This is true for kiddush, [[havdala]], and [[netilat yadayim]]. Sh"t Beer Moshe 5:55 on the other hand, only allows cup that are commonly reused and therefore only permits plastic cups and not paper cups, or small shot glasses because those are rarely reused.

*Rashba 51a s.v. ha writes that if a person doesn’t have one of the four major rules of a kos shel bracha a person doesn’t fulfill their obligation, the others are enhancements initially.

##Others contend that it is based on [[kavod Shabbat]], honoring Shabbat, to refrain from eating before acknowledging and declaring the sanctity of the day.<ref>Aruch Hashulchan 271:12</ref>
##A third suggestion is based on the pasuk: ״וקראת לשבת עונג״ (and you shall call the shabbat a delight)<ref>Yeshaya 58:13</ref>. We understand the phrase "and you shall call the shabbat" to refer to making kiddush, and the phrase "delight" to refer to eating and drinking, and conclude that kiddush must precede "delighting", just as comes first in the pasuk.<ref>Igrot Moshe OC 4:63 s.v. aval af explains based on the Rashbam and Tosfot (Pesachim 101a) that the prohibition to eat before kiddush is built on the idea of וקראת לשבת עונג - במקום קריאה שם תהא עונג - that the meal may only be had where kiddush is recited and not elsewhere or beforehand.</ref>


=== When is it forbidden to eat before kiddush ===
=== When the Prohibition Begins ===
#If one takes [[Shabbat]] upon oneself early, it's forbidden to eat before making [[Kiddish|kiddush]].<ref>Magen Avraham 271:5 in name of the Bach writes that it's forbidden to eat before making [[Kiddish]] if one accepted [[Shabbat]] early. Mishna Brurah 271:11 agrees.</ref>
#Friday night:
#If one doesn't pray arvit or take [[Shabbat]] upon oneself early it is forbidden to eat before kiddush once the sun sets.<ref>Magen Avraham 271, Mishna Brurah 271:11 and Ben Ish Chai Beresheet 17 write that the prohibition begins at [[Bein HaShemashot]]. </ref> Sephardim are lenient until the end of Ben Hashemashot (13.5 minutes after sunset).<ref>[https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=74381 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Shemot 5779 min 12)] explained that there's many reasons why it is permitted to drink water after accepting Shabbat during Ben Hashemashot. 1) The acceptance of Shabbat of an individual isn't a full acceptance that would make everything forbidden. 2) Ben Hashemashot might be like the day, especially since we might follow Rabbi Yose who holds that it is day until the end of Ben Hashemashot. 3) According to Rabbenu Tam it is the day. 4) According to the Rambam one can drink anything besides wine before Kiddush.</ref>

#It is forbidden to eat anything before [[Kiddish|kiddush]] of the day.<ref>Rambam (Hilchot [[Shabbat]] 29:10) and Shulchan Aruch O.C. 289:1 rule that since there's an obligation to make [[Kiddish]] it's forbidden to eat anything before [[Kiddish]] of the day just like the [[Kiddish]] of Friday night. </ref>
##If one doesn't take [[Shabbat]] upon oneself early, then the prohibition begins once the sun sets.<ref>Magen Avraham 271:5, Mishna Brurah 271:11, and Ben Ish Chai Bereshit 17 write that the prohibition begins at [[Bein HaShemashot]]. </ref>  
###Sephardim are lenient until the end of Ben Hashemashot (13.5 minutes after sunset).<ref>[https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=74381 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Shemot 5779 min 12)] explained that there's many reasons why it is permitted to drink water after accepting Shabbat during Ben Hashemashot.  
 
(1) The acceptance of Shabbat of an individual isn't a full acceptance that would make everything forbidden.  
 
(2) Bein Hashemashot might be like the day, especially since we might follow Rabbi Yose who holds that it is day until the end of Ben Hashemashot.  
 
(3) According to Rabbenu Tam, it is still the day.  
 
(4) He understands the Rambam's shita to be that one can drink anything besides wine before Kiddush.</ref>
#Shabbat day:
##Once one davens shacharit, they are obligated in kiddush, and the prohibition kicks in.<ref>Mishnah Berurah 286:7 citing the Magen Avraham and the Bach. Before one davens shacharit, while the prohibition of eating before kiddush has not yet begun, there is a separate prohibition in effect of eating before davening. However, with respect to this latter prohibition, it is permitted to drink water. See Tur siman 289 who cites the practice of his father, the Rosh, who would drink water before davening on shabbat morning. He explains that this is allowed since drinking water before davening is not asur, and the obligation of kiddush does not begin until after shacharit.</ref>

#It is permitted for children to eat before kiddush both by night and day. This applies even if they have reached the age of chinuch.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 52:18 is lenient, since the prohibition of eating before kiddush is not a prohibition on the food itself (איסור חפצא) but rather just on the person not to eat at this time (איסור גברא). We can therefore be more lenient with respect to the prohibition of ספייה (abetting a minor in the performance of a prohibition), and since the child needs the food, it is permitted.</ref>
