SPECIAL HAVDALAH

When the seder falls on a Saturday evening, we continue with this special version of  Havdalah  before the  Shehecheyanu  is recited

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei m'orei ha-eish.

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, hamavdil bein kodesh l'chol, bein or l'choshech, bein Yisrael laamim, bein yom hash'vi-i l'sheishet y'mei hamaaseh. Bein k'dushat Shabbat lik'dushat yom tov hivdalta. V'et yom hash'vi-i misheishet y'mei hamaaseh kidashta. Hivdalta v'kidashta et amcha Yisrael bik'dushatecha. Baruch atah Adonai, hamavdil bein kodesh l'kodesh.

Blessed are You, Adonai Our God, Sovereign of the universe, Creator of the fire's light.

Blessed are You, Adonai Our God, Sovereign of the universe. You distinguish between holiness and dailiness, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the seventh day and the six days of creation, between the holiness of the Sabbath and the holiness of the Festival Days. You sanctify the seventh day from the six days of Creation. You distinguish and make holy your people Israel. Blessed are You, Our God, who distinguishes between holiness and holiness.

SHEHECHEYANU

We recite the  Shehecheyanu,  thanking God for allowing us to reach this day.

Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, shehecheyanu v’kiy’manu v’higianu laz’man hazeh.

Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this season.
