Kadesh is the blessing known for the filling of the Kiddush cups. It is customary for you not to fill your own cup, but for others to fill each others cup. The blessing is done by consuming one cup of wine and saying the blessing on this page. Also, it is customary to recline to your left side while drinking your wine, and we do this to make sure that the wine goes down the pipe in our throat for the food and drinks, and not for the air.
