We lift our wine glass, but we do not drink: ךוּרָבּ הָתַּא ָיְי וּניֵהלֱא ךֶלֶמ םָלוֹעָה , רוֹבּ אֵ יִרְפּ ןֶפָגַּה . Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei p’ri hagfen. Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.
We lift the spices, smell, and pass them around the circle: ךוּרָבּ הָתַּא ָיְי וּניֵהלֱא ךֶלֶמ םָלוֹעָה , רוֹבּ אֵ יֵניִמ םיִמָשְׂב . Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei minei v’samim. Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, Creator of varied spices.
We bring the light toward our faces: ךוּרָבּ הָתַּא ָיְי וּניֵהלֱא ךֶלֶמ םָלוֹעָה , רוֹבּ אֵ יֵרוֹאְמ שֵׁאָה . Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, borei m’orei ha-eish. Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, Creator of the lights of fire.
After this blessing we sip the wine and extinguish the Havdalah candle in the remaining wine: רָבּ ךוּ הָתַּא ָיְי וּניֵהלֱא ךֶלֶמ םָלוֹעָה , ליִדְּבַמַּה ןיֵבּ דֹק שֶׁ לוֹחְל . Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, Melech haolam, hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol. Praise to You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe: who distinguishes between the holy and ordinary.
ליִדְּבַמַּה ןיֵבּ דֹק שֶׁ לוֹחְל , וּניֵתאֹטַּח אוּה לֹחְמִי וּנֵﬠְרַז וּנֵפְּסַכְו הֶבְּרַי לוֹחַכּ , םיִבָכוֹכַּכְו הָלְיָלַּבּ . Hamavdil bein kodesh l’chol, chatoteinu hu yimchol, zareinu v’chaspeinu yarbeh kachol, v’chakochavim balailah. May the One who distinguishes between the holy and the ordinary, pardon our sins; multiply our offspring and our possessions as grains of sand and as the stars at night.
וּהָיִלֵא איִבָנַּה , וּהָיִלֵא יִבְּשִּׁתַּה , וּהָיִלֵא יִדָﬠְלִגַּה . הָרֵהְמִבּ וּניֵמָיְבּ , אוֹבָי וּניֵלֵא , םִﬠ ַחיִשָׁמ ןֶבּ – דִוָדּ .
Eliyahu hanavi, Eliyahu hatishbi, Eliyahu hagiladi. Bimheirah b’yameinu, yavo eileinu, im Mashiach ben David. May Elijah the prophet, Elijah the Tishbite, Elijah of Gilead, quickly come to us heralding redemption.
