Music Review: Like A Braided Candle: Songs for Havdalah

One of Judaism's most beautiful ceremonies is Havdalah, which marks the end of the Sabbath and the beginning of the work week.

It's a ceremony full of spirituality and meaning.

Our friend, Gail Javitt, has put together a tremendous compilation of songs (Ashkenazic, Sephardic, and original) that celebrate this unique and festive moment within the Jewish week.

It is a treat to listen to and, I'm sure, will add to the richness of the transition from Sabbath to weekday, from holy to secular.

You can listen to select tracks and buy her CD (I'm sure she'd love that) by clicking here.
