A blessing over spices is
said after the Sabbath is
over in the Havdala cere-
mony to bring cheer and
encourage the Jewish soul
which seems to be sad and
regretful over the departure
of the holy Sabbath.
Reciting a benediction
and inhaling the spices gives
one the impression that
while the technical physical
day of the Sabbath has
passed, the memory of the
enjoyment of the Sabbath
lingers on like the aroma of
sweet smelling spices which
can be enjoyed even thdugh
the elements had been cut
off from the natural source
of growth.
In this way the spirit of
the Sabbath is not limited to
the 24 hours of its duration.
Rather, the spirit of the
Sabbath lives on with the
Jew all week long.
A blessing is made over
light after the Sabbath is
over in the Havdala cere-
mony to commemorate the
fact that light was created
on the first day of creation.
The day after the Sabbath
is, of course, the first day
of the week.
Others claim that since
kindling the fire is forbid-
den on the Sabbath, the
first work that is done-after
the Sabbath is over is to kin-
dle a light to show that it is
now permitted to engage in
labor.
Still another source
claims that the first man,
Adam, never experienced
darkness until the end of
the first Sabbath of crea-
tion. He was terrified until
the Almighty demonstrated
to him how to create artifi-
cial light.
The exodus of the Sab-
bath reminds us of God's
mercy who showed us how
to make light in the dark-
ness. Thus, the blessing
for light on Saturday
night.
Some claim that Adam
was very frightened on Sat-
urday night and the Al-
mighty was still with him,
fire to protect him. When
Day School Heads
Plan Convention
NEW YORK — Leading
Hebrew day school princi-
pals, administrators and
educators in North America
are expected at the 20th
annual national convention
of Hebrew day school prin-
cipals and administrators
which will meet April
30-May 4 at the P_ineview
Hotel, South Fallsburg,
N.Y.
Sponsored by the Na-
tional Conference of Yesh-
iva Principals and the Na-
tional Association of
Hebrew Day School Admin-
istrators — affiliates of To-
rah Umesorah, the National
Society for Hebrew Day
Schools — will explore
through plenary sessions,
workshops and seminars,
the critical issues in Hebrew
Day School education as the
movement enters its third
decade.
Adam saw the pillar of fire,
he realized that the Al-
mithgy was still with him,
even though he had sinned.
Therefore, the blessing is
made over the fire as an ex-
pression of gratitude to the
Almighty who protects us,
even in the periods of dark-
ness.
