וChelek 6
- Daaven Maariv and add in Havdala to Chonayn Hadaas. (ShA )
- Extend the holy day a bit after tsais hakochavim. During this time it is still forbidden to eat, drink, anoint etc… This extension can be during the time of Maariv since you will daaven after tsais hakochavim. Therefore immediately after Maariv all of the restrictions (except eating and drinking) are over even though you did not yet recite Havdala on a cup of wine. (ShA – MB )
- If it is also Motzoay Shabbos, say V’yitain L’cha. Do not say Vihi Noam nor V’Atta Kadosh because Sukkos will fall out during the week. (MB )
- Havdala on a cup does not require besomim. Many poskim hold that on Motzoay Shabbos you should have besomim, so have some to smell – there is no worry of a beracha l’vatalla. (ShA – MB )
- The beracha on fire Motzoay Yom Kippur is only to show that until now it was forbidden to use (unlike other Yom Tovim) and only now is it permitted anew. Therefore the flame must have been burning for the entire Yom Kippur. You may not say the beracha on a flame that was struck on Motzoay Yom Kippur, unless it is also Motzoay Shabbos. However the minhag is to be machmir even if Motzoay Yom Kippur is also Motzoay Shabbos. (ShA – MB )
- Because of the above consideration it is proper to have a flame lit from before Yom Kippur to last until after Yom Kippur for the express purpose of saying a beracha on its light Motzoay Yom Kippur. (MB )
- We eat and rejoice Motzoay Yom Kippur – it is a quasi Yom Tov. (Rama )
- People who are particular in the performance of mitzvos begin immediately, on Motzoay Yom Kippur, to assemble the sukka and finish it the next day. (Rama – MB )
- The day after Yom Kippur we wake up to go to shul a little earlier than usual – even though the din is over, we still are humbled. (MB )
- Between Yom Kippur and Sukkos we do not fast nor say Tachanun, Tzidkoscha Tzedek, Pirkei Avos (of Shabbos Mincha), and some places omit Lam’natzaych as well. However we do say Kayl Erech Apayim. (Rama – MB , ) THE LAWS OF SUKKA
