What is a kiddush cup and how is it used?
Drinking from the kiddush cup is an important part of Shabbat and most Jewish holidays. The word kiddush refers not to the cup itself but to the blessing said over the wine or grape juice in the cup, an event that blesses and sanctifies the holiday and it one of the chief ways (along with avoiding the 39 categories of work forbidden during Shabbat) that Jews abide by the mitzvah("commandment") to observe these special days. Reciting the kiddush blessing before the meal eaten after nightfall on Shabbat (the first meal of Shabbat) is commanded by the Torah whereas reciting it before other meals during Shabbat is a tradition of rabbinic orgin, meaning that rabbis decided it should be done without the Torah commanding it. Reciting kiddush before the last meal during Shabbat is largely optional - most Jews do not, but the 12th Century rabbi, doctor and philosopher Maimonides, who still has an enormous influence on Jewish thought to this day, believed that it should be carried out and so there are many Jews who do.A kiddush cup can be any cup and of any material, but as is commonly the case with any ceremonial object (such as the crucifix a Christian might wear, the idols used by Hindus in their household temples and so on) people like to have a cup and so most are made of silver and often beautifully decorated.
What is a shabbat meal?
After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine) and a blessing over two loaves of bread, and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will have a chance to speak of what they've learned in school. Eating the traditional Shabbat meals is a mitzva (a Torah-precept), to which the sages of the Talmud (Shabbat 117b) found an allusion in the Torah (Exodus 16:25).
Who is in charge of Shabbat the father or grandfather?
Usually, the father cuts the Challah and/or says the Kiddush (the blessing over the wine), but this is not necessary.

Why you drink?
Kiddush is not a drink. Kiddush is a ritual and more specifically a pair of blessings that are said over bread and wine at the end of the Sabbath and festival evening and morning services, and also said at the start of the Sabbath and Festival evening and morning meals. (If you're having the meal in the synagogue, you say Kiddush just once after the service and to start of the meal.) The blessings, along with the consumption of bread and wine, are part of the liturgy. Why? A common explanation is that nobody should leave the divine service with an empty stomach.

Do orthodox Jews eat kiddush?
"Kiddush" is not a foodstuff, it is an action. The word literally means "hallowing". Orthodox Jews perform Kiddush when Shabbat begins (Friday evening), which involves the blessing of candles, wine, bread, and God's love for the Jewish people. Following that they drink some of the blessed wine and blessed bread and this leads into a Shabbat meal that takes up much of the rest of the night.
What do Jewish people do after a bar mitzvah?

Why do you drink kiddush?
Wine has always had an important role in religious observance for Jews and Jewish religious law is very strict in regard to producing and handling wine. One of the core laws is that unpasteurized wine that has been handled by non-Jews cannot be used by Jews. The reason behind this is that other religions also used wine in religious rites and any item used by another religion cannot be used in Jewish rites. When Jews were dispersed and groups ended up in northern Europe, the land produced poor quality grapes. To make up for the poor quality grapes, Jews added more sugar to make the wine palatable, this led to Manischewitz wine. That being said, in the last 20 years, kosher wine has evolved greatly and even the Manischewitz company produces some nice wines in addition to their classic sugary ones.
