Jewish men and young boys perform a Havdalah ceremony on June 20, 2009. Havdalah is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat and holidays. In Judaism, Shabbat ends—and the new week begins—at nightfall on Saturday. Havdalah may be recited as soon as three stars are visible in the night sky. On completion of the Shabbat, a special braided Havdalah candle with more than one wick is lit, and a prayer is recited, and it is customary to gaze at one's fingernails reflecting the light of the candle. Spices are handed around so that everyone can smell the fragrance. Havdalah is intended to require a person to use all five senses. Taste the wine, smell the spices, see the flame of the candle, feel its heat and hear the blessings.
