Distributing Wine to All Present"},"content":{"rendered":"
In order to fulfill the mitzva of kiddush<\/em>, a melo lugmav <\/em>of wine must be drunk by the person making kiddush<\/em> or a member of his audience (as explained in section 5 of this chapter). The rest of the listeners thus fulfill their obligation in kiddush<\/em> even if they do not partake of the wine. Ideally, each listener should drink from the kiddush<\/em> wine (SA 271:14).<\/p>\n If the person who made kiddush<\/em> drank directly from the kos<\/em>, he should not then pour from this kos<\/em> into cups for the listeners, since the wine is now pagum<\/em> (as we learned in section 6). However, as long as family members are drinking directly from the kiddush<\/em> cup they are not considered drinking pagum<\/em> wine, because their drinking is considered an extension of the original drinking. It is only when the wine is poured into a different cup that it is considered pagum<\/em> (SHT 271:89; MB 182:24).<\/p>\n Thus, one who wishes to pour the kiddush<\/em> wine into the cups of his audience should first add a little wine from the bottle to the kos<\/em>. This fixes the cup\u2019s wine, and it may then be poured for the other people present (SA 182:6; MB 271:82; SHT 271:89). Another solution is for the person making kiddush<\/em> to pour a melo lugmav <\/em>from the kiddush<\/em> cup into his own cup, and drink the wine from there. This way the wine in the kiddush<\/em> cup is not pagum<\/em>, and he may pour from it into the cups of the listeners. It is often necessary to add wine to the kiddush<\/em> cup so that everyone who listened to kiddush<\/em> can have a taste.<\/p>\n There is another method: Before making kiddush<\/em>, a little wine can be poured into the cups of all present. After hearing kiddush<\/em> they can drink this wine. In this case, the person making kiddush<\/em> need not pour wine for them from his kos<\/em> at all, since the wine before them at the time of kiddush<\/em> is considered kiddush<\/em> wine. There are two advantages to this: 1) The audience\u2019s time lag between making the berakha<\/em> and drinking the wine is shortened. 2) There is no issue of pagum<\/em> at all. This is particularly suitable for a large audience and for guests who may feel uncomfortable drinking wine poured from the cup that the person making kiddush<\/em> drank from (SA 271:16-17; MB 83). If the listeners do not have a revi\u2019it<\/em> of wine in their cups, they should not drink until after the person making kiddush<\/em> drinks (SSK ch. 48 n. 74).<\/p>\n Even if the listeners do not plan to drink from the wine, they should still remain silent until the one making kiddush<\/em> has drunk a melo lugmav<\/em>. Be-di\u2019avad<\/em>, if they spoke before he drank, they have still fulfilled their obligation (SSK 48:6). If they wish to drink the wine, they should remain silent until after drinking.[10]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
