Insights on Tradition: Havdalah

Hosted By: Haberman Institute

The Haberman Institute for Jewish Studies will host a series of Tuesday evening sessions in September exploring the Havdalah ritual, which marks the end of Shabbat and the beginning of a new week. Although not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, Havdalah has become a significant practice in Jewish tradition, symbolizing the transition from the sacred to the ordinary. The sessions will examine the evolution of this ceremony and its enduring relevance in contemporary Jewish life.
