Havdalah marks the transition from the holiness of Shabbat to the start of a new week — from rest to responsibility, from light to action.
The word Havdalah means “to differentiate,” reminding us to carry the beauty and peace of Shabbat into whatever comes next.
The blessing over the flame recalls the first light given to Adam — the first fire of creation, a spark of hope in the darkness.
Aish students gathered to end their Shabbat together, lift their hands to the flame, and carry its light forward into the week ahead.
