why do we use a flame and bamum during
havdala havdala is actually recited over
wine just like Kish what we do is we
consolidate a number of brast that
should be recited on Saturday nights and
we recite them all together at havdala
if you don't have a candle or spices
when you recite havdalah these bras can
be recited later on their own the reason

called aami an extra soul on chabas
we're spiritually pained by its
departure when chabis ends so the Bim
the pleasant smelling spices can our
souls we also recite a br over fire to
recall how fire was given to mankind on
the first Saturday night the gim tells
us that after the first chabus ended
Hashem showed Adam how to make fire in
commemoration of this event when the
spiritual light of chabus ends we
replace it as best we can with a
material light
