Learn To Speak and Chant the Havdalah Blessings and Perform the Saturday Evening Ritual Ceremony<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stand outside on Saturday night awaiting the darkness and three stars to shine in the sky. It’s the moment Shabbat ends and Havdalah begins, the ceremony which separates (Havdalah means separation in Hebrew) the holy day from the rest of the week. Havdalah is one of the most beautiful ceremonies in Judaism; close your eyes, feel the heat of the burning flame, smell the cloves and cardamom, and recite the Havdalah blessings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need a Havdalah set<\/strong><\/a> which includes the following items: a braided candle<\/strong><\/a>, a spice box, and a kiddish cup. You’ll also need a tray to hold the items, matches for the candle, wine or grape juice, and the requisite spices<\/strong><\/a> for the spice box – cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon are all typical. Different people can hold each of these items and as each Havdalah blessing is recited, that item is showcased to the group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
