    Unlike the festival Kiddush, the Sabbath Kiddush does not have the phrase asher bahar banu ("Who has chosen us") because the Sabbath was given at Marah and Israel's complete chosenhood did not take place until the giving of the Torah.

    1996, Macy Nulman, The Encyclopedia of Jewish Prayer, page 200
