Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 269 — English translation
Translation: Sefaria Community Translation. Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.
- 1Laws of kiddush in the synagogue. Containing 1 paragraph It is the custom to recite Kiddush in the synagogue. The one who recites should not taste the wine of Kiddush but gives it to a minor to taste because Kiddush should be recited only at the place where the meal is eaten. From the outset this was ordained only for the sake of [communal] guests who eat and drink in the synagogue, so that they may fulfill their obligation. And today, even though [communal] guests do not eat and drink in the synagogue, the ordinance is not void. That is the reason of those places who still recite Kiddush in the synagogue. But it is better to ordain NOT to recite Kiddush in the synagogue, and such is the custom in the Land of Israel. Rema: It is the custom to stand when reciting Kiddush in the synagogue.

דין הקידוש בבהכ"נ. ובו סעיף אחד:
נוהגין לקדש בבהכ"נ. ואין למקדש לטעום מיין הקידוש אלא מטעימו לקטן דאין קידוש אלא במקום סעודה (וע"ל סי' רע"ג) ומעיקרא לא נתקן אלא בשביל אורחים דאכלי ושתי בבי כנישתא להוציאם י"ח ועכשיו אע"ג דלא אכלי אורחים בבי כנישתא לא בטלה התקנה זהו טעם המקומו' שנהגו לקדש בבהכ"נ אבל יותר טוב להנהיג שלא לקדש בבהכ"נ וכן מנהג א"י: הגה ונהגו לעמוד בשעה שמקדשין בבהכ"נ:
