“Imma, Imma,” called out her 3-year-old son Shimmy on a Friday evening, trying to wake her up.
“Let Imma nap a bit,” said his siter Chani.
Shimmy turned to Chani, spread out his arms and said, “But Abba is coming home soon from shul. And the Shabbos table is not set.”
“So we will set it!” said Rivky who overheard the conversation. All of the kids took it as a good idea and began setting up.
When Chani opened the cupboard and took out the kiddush cup, she checked it to make sure that it was clean and placed it on the table. Rivky noticed this and said, “Chani - you should rinse the kiddush cup.”
“Oh, I just checked it. It’s clean. So no need to rinse it,” explained Chani.
“Ok, even if it’s clean, it’s still a good idea to rinse it,” replied Rivky.
“Just a good idea?” intervened Shimmy, “Imma always rinses the kiddush cup before she places it on the table. So we must rinse it!”
