Havdalah
Ceremony marking the end of Shabbat
When to Recite
Performed at the conclusion of Shabbat, after three stars are visible in the night sky.
Instructions
Havdalah requires wine, spices, and a multi-wicked candle. Hold the cup of wine, recite the blessing, then the blessing over spices (smell them), then the blessing over fire (look at your fingernails in the light of the candle), and finally the blessing of separation. After drinking the wine, extinguish the candle in the wine that has spilled over into the saucer.
