More for You
Hiddur mitzvah is the practice of enhancing a mitzvah, or ritual obligation, by making it beautiful or attractive. It is thought that this tradition originates from Exodus 15:2, “This is my God, and I will glorify him.” Ornate kiddush cups, decorative menorahs, and embellished seder plates are all examples of hiddur mitzvah. Just as Ralph Lauren has devoted his life to helping people look stylish and attractive, Jews have been beautifying their rituals for centuries.
