#96: Kiddush B'makom Seudah (Part 3)
- According to most opinions, one who fulfills the obligation of Kiddush b’makom seudah at a communal Kiddush in shul through mezonot foods or wine need not recite Kiddush again at home when eating lunch. However, some hold that one should nonetheless recite Kiddush before any meal one eats on Shabbat (R. Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe, OC 4:63; R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Shulchan Shlomo 273, n.9).
- We have learned previously that one may not eat prior to reciting or listening to Kiddush. Therefore, one may also not eat anything if one cannot fulfill the halacha of Kiddush b’makom seudah (see Shemirat Shabbat K'hilchatah 54:3). For example, one may not listen to Kiddush and then have only a drink, fruit or shehakol snack, without eating a meal of mezonot or wine.
