The Law of Kiddush on Shabbat Morning
Question
What should be said during Kiddush in the morning?
Answer
According to the basic law, the Kiddush in the morning consists only of the blessing 'Borei Pri HaGafen', but it is customary to recite a verse, and some have the custom to recite 'Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it' [until the end of the verse according to the upper cantillation], and some also add 'and keep it'. However, one should not recite only part of the verse, as it is not permissible to recite half a verse.
