Question
Hello Rabbi, if a person hears Kiddush on Shabbat morning, must they eat mezonot for the Kiddush to be valid? If so, why can't they rely on the person making Kiddush who also eats?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
One does not fulfill the obligation of Kiddush unless it is in the place of a meal.
Therefore, it is not sufficient for only the person making Kiddush to eat; the listener must also have a place of a meal.
