The question arises as to whether they must recite a Beracha over other beverages that they drink during the Kiddush, such as Arak, whiskey, soft drinks or coffee.

Both men and women are obligated to recite (or hear) Kiddush on Friday night. If a person, for whatever reason, did not recite Kiddush on Friday night, then he must recite it on Shabbat morning. This means that instead of reciting the brief Shabbat morning Kiddush, he must recite the Kiddush text that is normally recited on Friday night. Thus, if a…

The Ge'onim (Babylonian scholars in the post-Talmudic era) were of the opinion that when a person recites Kiddush on Shabbat, he does not fulfill the obligation unless he personally drinks the minimum required Shiur (quantity) of wine from the Kiddush cup. Even if somebody else at the table heard the Kiddush and then drank the Shiur, nobody fulfill…

The obligation of Kiddush on Shabbat applies equally to men and women. On Friday night, both men and women are required by Torah law to recite or hear Kiddush. The Misva of Kiddush is exceptional in this regard, as women are generally exempt from "Misvot Aseh She'ha'zman Gerama" – affirmative Biblical commands that apply only at certain times. Kidd…
