Eating before Kiddush on Friday night

Hi,

We have been learning about the Mitzvah of making Kiddush on Friday night.

We have already said that one should recite Kiddush immediately upon arriving home, unless all of the prospective participants are not hungry.

Additionally, one may not taste anything after sunset on Friday, before Kiddush. This even includes a drink of water; once the sun sets, the obligation to make Kiddush begins.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 271:4)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
