How to Perform Havdalah According to Nusach Yerushalmi

This 5:40 minute long instructional video (in Hebrew with partial English subtitles) demonstrates how to perform the Havdalah ceremony that concludes Shabbat according to an interesting mixture of customs. It begins with a Hasidic custom to recite the prayer “Gutt Fon Avraham” (“God of Abraham”) three times prior to Havdalah. While this prayer is originally written in Yiddish, he recites it in Hebrew. The rest of the Havdalah ceremony is recited according to Nusach Yerushalmi (Jerusalem Custom). Although the blessings are said quite quickly in Hebrew, the man making Havdalah does take the time to explain some of the customs. He concludes with the blessing one makes after drinking wine. This video was produced by Emet 9, an ultra-Orthodox organization that aims to bring Jews closer to Jewish Torah observance.
