Kadesh marks the beginning of the Passover Seder through the recitation of Kiddush over the first cup of wine, sanctifying the holiday. It is a ritual moment that sets apart this time as holy, celebrating the Israelites’ deliverance from Egyptian bondage. This act of sanctification is not just a religious observance but also a communal affirmation of Jewish identity and freedom, recalling the liberation that defined the nation.
