abbreviated Havdallah Service at Seaon Saturday night, after shabbat, before lighting Chanukah candlesby Rabbi Dr Arthur Segal
Behold, God is my unfailing help; I will trust in God and will not be afraid.
The Lord is my strength and song; God is my Deliverer.
With joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation.
The Lord alone is our help; May God bless our people.
The Lord of the universe is with us; The God of Jacob is our protection.
There was light and joy, gladness and honor for the Jewish people.
So may we be blessed.
(Lifting kiddush cup with wine) We will lift the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
BA-RUCH A-TA A-DO-NAY E-LO-HAY-NU ME-LECH HA-O-LAM BO-RAY P'RI HA-GA-FEN.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.
(Holding the spice box aloft.)
still together: BA-RUCH A-TA A-DO-NAY E-LO-HAY-NU ME-LECH HA-O-LAM BO-RAY MEE-NAY V-SA-MEEM.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who creates diverse kinds of spices.
(The spicebox is passed around for everyone to take a sniff.)
still together: BA-RUCH A-TA A-DO-NAY E-LO-HAY-NU ME-LECH HA-O-LAM BO-RAY M-O-RAY HA-AYSH.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who creates the lights of the fire.
(Those present cup their hands and hold them toward the flame of the candle so that their fingertips cast a shadow on the palm of their hands. In this way, the distinction between light and darkness is illustrated on their hand.)
still together; BA-RUCH A-TA A-DO-NAI E-LO-HAY-NU ME-LECH HA-O-LAM
HA-MAV-DIL BAYN KO-DESH L'KHOL. BAYN OR L-CHO-SHEKH.
BAYN YIS-RA-EL LA-A-MEEM,
BAYN YOM HA-SH-VEE-EE L-SHAY-SHET Y-MAY HA-MA-A-SEH.
BA-RUKH A-TA A-DO-NAI, HA-MAV-DIL BAYN KO-DESH L'CHOL.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, ruler of the world, who separates the holy from the mundane, light from darkness, Israel from the other peoples, the seventh day of rest from the six days of work. Blessed are You, Lord, who separates the holy from the mundane.
(The Havdallah candle is now extinguished in the wine. Then the following is said together.)
HA-MAV-DIL BAYN KO-DESH L'CHOL. CHA-TO-TAY-NU HU YIM-CHOL.
ZA-RAY-NU V'CHAS-PAY-NU YAR-BEH KA-CHOL,U-CHE-CHO-CHA-VIM BA-LAY-LA.
May God forgive our transgressions and make our people as numerous as the sand, and as the stars of the night.
all hold hands:
''SHA-VU-AH TOV! SHA-VU-AH TOV! SHA-VU-AH TOV! SHA-VU-AH TOV!
SHA-VU-AH TOV! SHA-VU-AH TOV! SHA-VU-AH TOV! SHA-VU-AH TOV!A good week, a week of peace, may gladness reign and joy increase. A good week, a week of peace, may gladness reign and joy increase.

''E-LEE-YA-HU HA-NA-VEE, E-LEE-YA-HU HA-TISH-BEE.

Soon, in our day, he will come to us with the messiah, son of David.]
