Reusing a Kos for Kiddush

 

 

Question:

When multiple people are making kiddush one after another on a Kos, is it required that the Kos be washed in between each person, or its enough that it was washed before the first person made kiddush and then passed to the next person to make kiddush immediately after without rinsing?

 

Answer:

Strictly speaking no need if no food was eaten in between. Nonetheless, some are strict to do so. Additionally, for hygiene reasons, best the cup be washed, or at least the place where the first person drank from should be wiped clean.
