THE GRANT KIDDUSH CUP
The greatest thing in the world, is to do good to someone else
הדבר הכי גדול בעולם, זה לעשות טובה למישהו אחר
This special Kiddush cup, whose main theme is giving, is shaped in the spirit of the story of the righteous hunchback who met R. Carlebach in Tel Aviv, and told him that he succeeded in all the hardships and horrors of the concentration camps and the Holocaust because of this saying that saved him and brought him back to sanity, which he learned from the Rebbe of Piacenza. This gave him the strength to go on with his life and encourage others as well.
The motifs present in this Kiddush cup attributes and weave them together like a tree whose branches are intertwined in the thicket of pomegranate branches connecting the breastplate stones and their virtues to the 'Cohanim' who carry us and pass the G-D's giving, and we pass it to the other, out of love and grace and giving. All the features were woven into the motifs of the kiddush cup.
The pomegranates that are the fruit of the tree together with the inlaid breastplate stones are a symbol of our giving, this is the idea behind which I shaped this kiddush cup.
