Havdalah

On Saturday evening, we incorporate the following Havdalah section into the Kiddush to separate the sanctity of Sabbath from the Sanctity of the Festival of Pesach. Light a Havdalah candle from an existing light and then recite the following blessing.

[ בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא מְאוֹרֵי הָאֵשׁ: ]

[ Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, borei m'orei ha-eish. ]

                                                                                                                                               

[Praised are You Adonai our God Lord of the universe who created the lights of fire.]

 בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְחֹל בֵּין אוֹר לְחֹשֶׁךְ, בֵּין יִשְׂרָאֵל לָעַמִים,  בֵּין יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי לְשֵׁשֶׁת יְמֵי הַמַּעֲשֶׂה. בֵּין קְדֻּשַּׁת שַׁבָּת לִקְדֻשַּׁת 

יוֹם טוֹב הִבְדַּלְתָּ. וְאֶת-יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִשֵּׁשֶׁת יְמֵי הַמַּעֲשֶׂה קִדַּשְׁתָּ. הִבְדַּלְתָּ וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ אֶת-עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּקְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְקֹדֶשׁ: 

                                                                                                                                               

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, hamavdil bein kodesh l'chol bein or l'choshech, bein yisra-eil la-amim, bein yom hashvi-i l'sheishet y'mei hama-aseh. Bein k'dushat shabbat likdushat yom tov hivdalta. V'et-yom hashvi-i misheishet y'mei hama-aseh kidashta. Hivdalta v'kidashta et-am'cha yisra-eil bikdushatecha. Baruch atah Adonai, hamavdil bein kodesh l'kodesh.                                                                               

                                                                                                                                                           

Praised are you,  Adonai, our God, King of the universe, who distinguishes between the holy and profane, light and darkness, Israel and the people, Shabbat and the six weekdays, the holiness of Shabbat and the holiness of a Festival. You have imbued the Shabbat with greater holiness than the six weekdays and You have granted of Your holiness into Your people Israel. Praised are you,  Adonai, who distinguishes between degrees of sanctity.                                               

[ Conclude Kiddush with Shehehiyanu. ]

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה:

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, shehecheyanu v'ki'manu v'higi-anu laz'man hazeh.

Praised are you Adonai our God King of the universe who has sustained us, maintained us and enabled us to reach this moment in life.
