Frequently Asked Questions

What brachos are said during Havdalah (הבדלה)?

After the opening pesukim, four brachos are recited:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא מִינֵי בְשָׂמִים.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא מְאוֹרֵי הָאֵשׁ.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְחוֹל, בֵּין אוֹר לְחֹשֶׁךְ, בֵּין יִשְׂרָאֵל לָעַמִּים, בֵּין יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי לְשֵׁשֶׁת יְמֵי הַמַּעֲשֶׂה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְחוֹל.

What do the Havdalah brachos mean?

Havdalah marks the end of Shabbos with brachos over wine, fragrant spices (besamim, בשמים), and the light of a candle with several wicks. The final bracha praises Hashem for creating distinctions: between holy and ordinary, light and darkness, Klal Yisrael and the nations, and Shabbos and the six weekdays.

Why use a Havdalah card on Motzei Shabbos?

A Havdalah card keeps the full text in front of you, so you can recite Havdalah with ease.

What styles of Havdalah cards are available?

Choose from frosted Lucite Havdalah cards with mirrored or metallic details, the black-and-gold Onyx design, or hand-painted artist designs. Lucite card holders and bases are sold separately.

Do the Havdalah cards come in a set?

Yes. The Classic 2.0 and Onyx Shabbos Card Sets each include five cards: Kiddush Shabbos (קידוש לשבת), Kiddush Yom Tov (קידוש ליום טוב), Hadlokas Neiros (הדלקת נרות), Shalom Aleichem (שלום עליכם), and Havdalah (הבדלה), in nusach Ashkenaz / Sefard.

Is a Havdalah card a good gift?

Yes. A Havdalah card is a meaningful Judaica gift for a chassan, a new home, a Bar Mitzvah, or a host. Pair it with a Havdalah plate for a complete Motzei Shabbos gift.
