Kiddush
Evening Kiddush. In many synagogues, Kiddush is said at the end of Friday evening prayers.  This has been done since the Middle Ages.  At that time, people who were traveling often ate and slept at the synagogue on Shabbat.  Kiddush was said in the synagogue before they ate their Friday night Shabbat meal.  In modern times, Kiddush is still said in the synagogue Friday night.  This is done even if a meal is not served in the synagogue that night.
