Kiddush in Shul (Communal Shabbat Refreshment)
After Sabbath (Shabbat) morning prayers (tefillah), many synagogues (shul) hold a communal kiddush — a spread of food and drink, blessed over wine, where the congregation lingers together. Families often sponsor it to mark a birth, a memorial, or a milestone.
