Question

Hello, Rabbi,

During Havdalah, at what stage should the candle be lit? Before the Havdalah begins, when the wine is poured, or before the blessing over the lights of the fire?

Thank you very much

Answer

Hello,

The candle may be lit before Havdalah begins or before the blessing of "Borei Meorei HaEsh."

With blessings,

Hillel Meirs
