Tish'a B'Av: On Saturday Night
When Tish'a B'Av begins on Saturday night, the custom is as follows:
- Say baruch ha'mavdil when Shabbat ends.
- Say the blessing on the candle after ma'ariv.
-
Do not say the remainder of havdala at all. Instead:
- Wait until Sunday night, after the fast is over, and then
- Say only the blessing on the wine and the paragraph of ha'mavdil blessings.
Note You will not say the blessings on the spices for havdala for that week.
