What kind of candle is needed for Havdalah?
Question
Hello, Rabbi!
Is it possible to make Havdalah with an ordinary candle, or is a candle with two wicks required?
Answer
Greetings and blessings
It is also possible with an ordinary candle, but it is preferable to light one candle and another candle and bring them close together so that they are like a torch, or to buy a special Havdalah candle. Thus our Sages said: "A torch for Havdalah is the most preferred way to fulfill the mitzvah."
Good luck - Menashe Yisrael
