KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. Since Purim begins this Motzei Shabbat this year (Saturday night) there are special laws for Purim that differ from when it falls on a weekday. After the Amida of Arvit the congregation should do like all Motzei Shabbatot but when they get up to the prayer of Ve’Ata Kadosh they should stop, bless on the candle of the Havdalah (Boreh Me’orei Ha’Esh) and then continue with reading the Megillah of Esther. The accepted custom is to read Megillat Esther before doing Havdalah on wine.

2. If a congregation forgot to bless on the Havdalah candle (Boreh Me’orei Ha’Esh) before reading the Megillah on Motzei Shabbat and they only remembered the mistake in the middle of the reading they do as follows: The Shaliah Tzibbur (Megillah reader) stops in between two chapters of the Megillah (meaning they finish the chapter they were in the middle of) and bless on the candle. After they bless they continue reading the Megillah like nothing happened. If a congregation forgot to bless on the candle they do Havdalah after they finished Arvit just like every other Motzei Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom & PURIM SAMEAH!
