Havdalah

Havdalah (Hebrew: הַבְדָּלָה, romanized: haḇdālā, lit. 'separation', Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: אבדלתא, romanized: aḇdālā) is a Jewish religious ceremony that marks the symbolic end of Shabbat and ushers in the new week. The ritual involves lighting a special candle with several wicks, blessing a cup of wine, and smelling sweet spices (Hebrew: בְּשָׂמִים‎, romanized: bǝśāmim, lit. '"besamim"', Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: בשמי‎, romanized: buśmē, lit. 'spice, scent'). Shabbat ends on Saturday night after the appearance of three stars in the sky.^: 137 Havdalah may be performed as late as sunset of the Tuesday following Shabbat.
