Havdalah
|
|
 Upon
the conclusion of the Sabbath (when
at least three stars are visible in the sky on Saturday night),
we part from the holy day with Havdalah, a prayer marking the
end of Shabbat. While holding a cup of wine, we make a blessing
over the fruit of the vine, upon fragrant spices and the flame
of a braided candle. We thank G-d for distinguishing (Havdalah)
between holy and weekday, light and darkness, Israel and the nations,
and between the Sabbath and the other days of Creation. If you
make a Bar/Bat Mitzvah party on a Saturday night, you may begin
the evening with Havdalah.
