Where to Buy Kiddush Cups & Silver Judaica

Kiddush cups, becher sets, and sterling silver Judaica.

35 published merchants

Buyer notes

35 stores in this directory sell kiddush cups and silver Judaica. Most are general Judaica retailers; others include artists and designers who make their own pieces. Every listing links to the store's own site, and each fact on it comes from a dated source.

What to look for

Size matters more than style. The cup should hold a revi'is of wine. Opinions differ on the measure: Halachipedia cites 3.2 fluid ounces by Rav Chaim Na'eh's measure and 4.42 ounces for Friday night by Rav Moshe Feinstein's, and suggests treating 4.4 ounces as the measure for kiddush.[1] Decorative cups vary in capacity, so ask for it in ounces or milliliters, or fill the cup with a measured amount at home. Ask your rav which measure your family follows.

Whole and clean. The cup should be complete and rinsed. Chabad.org notes it is not respectful to use a chipped cup to sanctify Shabbat.[2] Glass and ceramic cups are fine but can chip; a metal cup can last for generations.

Sterling or plated. Sterling silver is usually marked 925 or "sterling." Silver-plated and electroformed pieces look similar for less money but are not solid silver. Ask the store, and check the marking.

Which kind of store

  • General Judaica retailers carry the widest range: becher sets, kiddush fountains, children's cups and everyday pieces.
  • Artists and designers make their own cups. Go here for a bar mitzvah, wedding or heirloom gift.
  • Personalized gifts: use the Engraving and Personalization filters, then confirm the details with the store.

Questions to ask the store

  • What is the capacity in ounces or milliliters?
  • Is it solid sterling, plated or electroformed? What does the marking say?
  • Is engraving offered, in Hebrew and English, and how much time does it add?
  • How should it be cleaned and polished?

Timing

Kiddush cups are classic gifts for a bar mitzvah, an aufruf or a wedding. Engraving and handmade pieces take time, so order a few weeks before the event and ask the store for its current turnaround.

Frequently asked questions

How big should a kiddush cup be?

Big enough to hold a revi'is. Halachipedia suggests 4.4 fluid ounces for kiddush, and smaller measures are also cited. Ask your rav.

Can I use a glass or disposable cup?

A glass cup is fine if it is whole and holds enough. Halachipedia notes that some authorities object to plastic or paper cups, and that even those who permit them agree a real cup is preferable.

How do I tell sterling from plated?

Look for a 925 or "sterling" mark, and ask the store directly before you buy.
