Kiddush - Jewish Blessing over Wine (Borai Pre Hagafen) - Friday Night Shabbat Prayer

[shmuelman]

This prayer is in Hebrew. Yiddish is a Germanic language that is about 15% Hebrew and is written with the Hebrew alphabet. It was spoken by Eastern European Jews.

She got almost all of it right. She needs some practice still. (For example, "qidshanu" is a corruption that should be pronounced "qideshanu".)

believe it or not, my mother sang this in the temple in England in the 1930s, she was about 2 or 3, when it was unheard of for females to do so. I remember her singing it when I was growing up.

Thanks for posting this! I need to practice. I got caught off guard at the last Shabbat dinner. Nice background scenery, too!

Thank you for posting this. My Bnei Mitzvah is this Friday and Saturday and I was in need of assistance with the Kiddish. Thank you

I have a question:

First off, thank you for posting this; it was very beautiful. I am not Jewish, nor do I know anyone who is, but I've often found Yiddish Prayers to be beautiful in their poetry.

Question: Have you seen "Schindler's List", and if so, is this the same prayer that is used in the opening scene of that movie? I hear some simularities, and I'm just curious. I can't find any info about that particular scene, and if you've seen the movie, I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!
