Motzoei Shabbat

In practice, it is best to set the time for reciting the Maariv payer for some time after the end of Shabbat. This allows people to go home and change into their weekday clothes and remove their leather shoes before returning to Shul. One should say Baruch HaMavdil Bein Kodesh Lechol before doing so.

If one is davening in a shul that prays Ma’ariv immediately after Shabbat, he should remove his leather shoes after the recital of Barchu. (One should untie the laces beforehand and wash one’s hands after doing so.) In such a shul, the Chazzan should remove his shoes before Barchu so as not to interrupt in the middle of his prayers.

• We do not make Havdalah after Shabbat as the fast has already started at that time. Rather, Havdalah is recited after the fast, on Sunday night. We do, however, make a blessing on the candle – Borei Me’orei Ha’Esh. It is best to do so in shul before the reading of Eicha. If one did not do so, one may say this blessing later on that night.
• A person who is sick and will not be fasting should make Havdalah on this night. Some say that he or she should use beer or another important beverage rather than wine or grape juice. (One who is fasting may fulfill the mitzvah of Havdalah by listening to this Havdalah.) No blessing on fragrant spices should be recited, nor should the verses of Hinei Keil Yeshu’ati etc be said. (which are recited as an introduction to Havdalah) be said.
• Some say that a child who will not be fasting should make Havdalah before eating. He or she should use grape juice or another important beverage. One child may recite Havdalah for other children. Others say that they may eat without hearing Havdalah and that they should simply hear Havdalah on Sunday night with everybody else. This is the widespread custom.
• One should make the bracha of Borei Me’orei Ha’Esh on a (multi-wick) candle before the reading of Eicha
• One should make sure to say Ata Chonantanu (the Havdalah in the Maariv Amidah) or Baruch HaMavdil Bein Kodesh LeChol before doing any labor that is forbidden on Shabbat after Shabbat ends.
• It is best to not wash the dishes and utensils from Shabbat until after midday on Sunday.
