Cup of Miriam, also known as a Kos Miryam, a ceremonial cup used during the Passover Seder. The Hebrew letters on the cup spell out "Cup Of Miriam."
The Cup of Miriam is a modern addition to the Seder table, symbolizing Miriam's well, which is said to have provided water for the Israelites in the desert.
It is often filled with water to represent Miriam's well and is placed on the Seder table alongside the traditional Cup of Elijah.
The cup honors the role of women in the Exodus story and in Jewish tradition.
The tradition of using a Cup of Miriam began in the 1980s as a way to include a more feminist perspective in the Passover Seder.
