<font face="arial" size="3"><b>By Rabbi Doniel Neustadt</b> <br></font><font face="arial" size="3">When no wine or grape juice is available, there is a
way of reciting Kiddush over schnapps which will satisfy the opinions of
most poskim: Recite Kiddush on a revi'is of schnapps and drink a cheekful
or a revi'is, but instead of swallowing it in one shot, sip it slowly,
for a period of up to three or four minutes.(14)<br><br></font></div></blockquote><div>------------------------------------<br><br></div><div>I'm not sure why he didn't say that you can also drink it all at once - that would be the most l'chatchilah - and then, as more b'dieved to sip it slowly.<br></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>Is it possible that for most people, who do not normally drink that much schnapps in one drink, and for whom it might be unpleasant, there is a question of whether this is a real shtiya?
