Havdalah (Hebrew: הַבְדָּלָה, romanized: haḇdālā, lit. 'separation', Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: אבדלתא, romanized: aḇdāltā) is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat and ushers in the new week. The ritual involves lighting a special candle with several wicks, blessing a cup of wine, and smelling sweet spices (Hebrew: בְּשָׂמִים, romanized: bǝśāmim, lit. '"besamim"', Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: בשמי, romanized: buśmē, lit. 'spice, scent').[1] Shabbat ends on Saturday night after the appearance of three stars in the sky.[2]: 137 Havdalah may be performed as late as sunset of the Tuesday following Shabbat.[3]
