Kiddush Cup and Becher Buying Guide
Quick answer: a becher or Kiddush cup holds wine for Kiddush. It is used on Shabbat and holidays and is one of the core Jewish table objects.
A becher is not just a cup. It is the object used during the blessing over wine. That means it sits between function and meaning. It should feel right in the hand, look right on the table, and match the home where it will be used.
For a simple explanation: the becher helps the family begin Shabbat or a holiday meal with blessing. That is why it is a strong wedding gift, new-home gift, host gift, and family table object.
