Product Description
Havdalah, meaning separation
is a? Jewish religious? ceremony that marks the symbolic end of? Shabbat? and? Jewish holidays, and ushers in the new week.
The ritual involves lighting a special havdalah candle with several wicks, blessing a cup of wine and smelling sweet spices. Shabbat ends on Saturday night after the appearance of three stars in the sky.? Some communities delay the Havdalah in order to prolong Shabbat.

As for? kiddush, havdalah is recited over a cup of? kosher wine? or? grape juice,? although other beverages may be used if wine or grape juice are not available.

Spices, called? besamim? in Hebrew, often stored in an? artistically decorative spice container? in order to beautify and honor the? Mitzvah, are handed around so that everyone can smell the fragrance.? In many? Sephardi? and? Mizrahi communities, branches of aromatic plants are used for this purpose, while? Ashkenazim? have traditionally used? cloves.

A special braided Havdalah candle with more than one wick? is lit, and a blessing is recited.? If a special havdalah candle is not available, two candles can be used, and the two flames joined when reciting the blessing.
