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!
