# Siman 491 – Havdalla

הChelek 5

1. Say Havdalla on any Motzai Yom Tov in tefilla and on a cup of wine. Omit the beracha on the flame and on the smelling spices. (ShA )

1. When Yom Tov falls out on Motzai Shabbos, the Havdallah in tefilla is an added paragraph that begins 'Vatodeaynu...'. If you forget to say it do not go back and repeat since you will be saying Havdalla in Kiddush. (ShA  — MB )
