From the Introduction: What a work of genius is that simple homely and beautiful creation of the Jewish spirit - the Kiddush! It is the very essence of poetry wrought into an institution of family life. It has cultivated and nourished the idealism of generations. It has proven a factor in incalculable worth in linking loving hearts to home, kindred, to Israel and to God. It has given a dignity, tenderness, and grace to the Jewish household which has constrained all its influences and memories in an atmosphere of sweet religiousness.
