הבדלה

Intersection register · custodian, not owner

Havdalah is the ceremony marking the close of Shabbat and festivals, distinguishing sacred time from ordinary time. It brings together four elements: a cup of wine, spices (besamim), the flame of a braided candle, and the blessings of separation. This domestic rite, full of symbols of sweetness and light, accompanies the return to the working week.
