Havdalah

The Havdalah ceremony comes to life as students explore its meaning and assemble their own Havdalah kits. They:

  • Touch and examine the ritual objects used in the Havdalah ceremony and discuss their significance;

  • Dip wicks into vats of hot beeswax and then weave the thin candles to create a beautiful Havdalah candle;

  • Make a fragrance holder using bits of cloves, foam balls and cloth;

  • Learn how to recite and lead the Havdalah service.

  • Receive a full-color laminated Havdalah card to complete the kit.
