Kiddush is a recited blessing that is given over grape juice or wine to sanctify a Jewish holiday or Shabbat. In many synagogues, celebrations are held that feature beverages and cakes over which the blessing is made. This type of repast, over time, came to be termed as a Kiddush.
A Time for Fellowship
For example, kosher catering in New Jersey often oversees events where people invite friends or congregants to a Kiddush after a service. Many congregants host this type of affair after Shabbat services. This allows participants to engage in fellowship after a morning service.
Planning a Gathering
If you need kosher catering for a Kiddush then, you will need to figure how many people will be attending the gathering. Usually, on average, sixty people will attend this type of celebration. A Kiddush does not have to feature a set menu. Therefore, you can be creative in this respect.
