Understanding Shabbot and Havdalah

Most people know that Shabbot--the Sabbath Day--begins Friday evening at sundown with a special ceremony. But most people don't know that the Sabbath ends with another shorter, yet equally sweet, ceremony called havdalah.

Practiced by observant Jews for millennia, it is now returning, not just among Jews, but among Christians who are searching to understand the Jewish background of their faith.

Dr. Neil and Jamie Lash have written a short introduction to havdalah, which can be used by anyone--Jew or Gentile--who wants to experience the important biblical principle of separation.
