Kiddush cup assembly

Abstract

A Kiddush cup assembly is disclosed. The assembly comprises (a) a Kiddush cup comprising a Kiddush fluid and having a first cover being configured to avoid damaging a lip, wherein the first cover is not stuck to the lip using an adhesive; (b) a container for containing an additional Kiddush fluid; and (c) at least one tampering reporting mechanism for disqualifying the Kiddush cup assembly when tampered.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of preparing a cup for Kiddush comprising:
 (i) providing a Kiddush cup assembly comprising:   (a) a Kiddush cup having an inner volume being defined by a bottom and a side wall, said inner volume being filled with a Kiddush fluid having a second volume, said second volume is less than said inner volume, a top of said side wall comprises a lip defining an opening of said inner volume, said Kiddush cup having a first cover being configured to avoid damaging said lip while removing or applying said cover, wherein said first cover is not stuck to said lip using an adhesive;   (b) a container for containing an additional said Kiddush fluid, said additional Kiddush fluid having a third volume, said second volume and said third volume combined being greater than said inner volume, said container having a second cover, wherein when said second cover is at least partially removed, said container is usable for filling up the inner volume with said Kiddush fluid; and   (c) at least one tampering reporting mechanism for disqualifying the Kiddush cup assembly when tampered;   (ii) removing said first cover and said second cover; and   (iii) pouring said Kiddush fluid from said container into said Kiddush cup such that it overflows.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom of said container is detatchably attached to a top section of said Kiddush cup, thereby serving as said first cover. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said bottom of said container is detatchably attached to an inner surface of said top section of said Kiddush cup. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said bottom of said container is detatchably attached to an outer surface of said top section of said Kiddush cup. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising a first sealing mechanism for creating a fluid tight seal between said Kiddush cup and said first cover. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said Kiddush cup and said container are detachably attached through a snap-fit mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said Kiddush cup and said container are detachably attached through a threaded connection positioned under and removed from said lip. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said first cover forms a part of said container. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said second cover is fabricated from a material comprising a plastic or metal foil. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said side wall of said Kiddush cup comprises a recess designed to accommodate and hold said first cover when attached. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one tampering mechanism forms a part of a packaging mechanism used to pack said Kiddush cup and said container. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said inner volume of said Kiddush cup is greater than 86 ml. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said inner volume of said Kiddush cup is between 86 ml-200 ml. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said third volume is less than half of said second volume.
