[edit] Tuesday

I was a little unclear about the Tuesday thing. Chabad doesn't mention a late Havdalah on the two sites linked.

Isaac Klein in A Guide to Jewish Religious Practice, (Published by JTS, 1979) writes:

This ceremony should be performed immediately after the Ma'ariv service, though it may be delayed in cases of meregency even until Tuesday. When recited later than Saturday night, however, the spices and candle are omitted (Tur, O.H. 299; B. Shab. 150b in Rashi, s.v. ועבדינן)

That's a shame, because these sources are conclusive and this is well known. Thankfully Chabad is not the final word on everything. JFW | T@lk 14:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is it anyway

The article describes what is done around havdalah, but it does not say what it is- is it a meal, an execution, or just a prayer?
