###### Pesachim 103a:1
[Pesachim 103a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:1)

וְרַבָּה אָמַר: יַהְנֵ״ק. וְלֵוִי אָמַר: קְנִיָּ״ה. וְרַבָּנַן אָמְרִי: קִינָ״ה. מָר בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַבְנָא אָמַר: נְקִיָּ״ה. מָרְתָא אָמַר מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ: נִיהָ״ק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rabba said** that the correct order is ***yod*, *heh*, *nun*, *kuf*:** Wine [*yayin*], *havdala*, candle [*ner*], and *kiddush*. **And Levi said** the order is ***kuf*, *nun*, *yod*, *heh*:** *Kiddush*, candle [*ner*], wine [*yayin*], and *havdala*. **And the Rabbis say** the order is ***kuf*, *yod*, *nun*, *heh*:** *kiddush*, wine [*yayin*], candle [*ner*], and *havdala*. **Mar, son of Rabbana, said** the order is ***nun*, *kuf*, *yod*, *heh*:** Candle [*ner*], *kiddush*, wine [*yayin*], and *havdala*. The Sage named **Marta said in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua** that the proper order is ***nun*, *yod*, *heh*, *kuf*:** Candle [*ner*], wine [*yayin*], *havdala*, and *kiddush*.


###### Pesachim 103a:2
[Pesachim 103a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:2)

שְׁלַח לֵיהּ אֲבוּהּ דִּשְׁמוּאֵל לְרַבִּי: יְלַמְּדֵנוּ רַבֵּינוּ, סֵדֶר הַבְדָּלוֹת הֵיאַךְ. שְׁלַח לֵיהּ: כָּךְ אָמַר רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בַּר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי שֶׁאָמַר מִשּׁוּם אָבִיו שֶׁאָמַר מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן חֲנַנְיָה: נְהִי״ק.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to this issue, **the father of Shmuel,** Abba ben Abba, **sent** a letter **to Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi: **Teach us, our Rabbi. How** should one recite **the order of *havdala*** when a Festival occurs after Shabbat? Rabbi **sent him** the following response: **This** is what **Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, said, who said** it **in the name of his father, who** himself **said** it **in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Ḥananya:** The proper order of the blessings is ***nun*, *heh*, *yod*, *kuf*:** Candle [*ner*], *havdala*, wine [*yayin*], and *kiddush*.


###### Pesachim 103a:3
[Pesachim 103a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:3)

אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא: מָשָׁל דְּרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן חֲנַנְיָה לְמֶלֶךְ שֶׁיּוֹצֵא וְאִפַּרְכוֹס נִכְנָס, מְלַוִּוין אֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאַחַר כָּךְ יוֹצְאִים לִקְרַאת אִפַּרְכוֹס.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Ḥanina said** that the following **parable** serves to explain the opinion **of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Ḥananya:** This is comparable **to a king who is exiting** a city **and a governor is entering.** Etiquette dictates that the inhabitants of the city first **escort the king** out of the city to take leave of him in a dignified fashion, **and afterward they go out to greet the governor.** Similarly, one should first recite *havdala*, to take leave of Shabbat, and only then recite *kiddush* over the Festival, whose sanctity is lesser than that of Shabbat.


###### Pesachim 103a:4
[Pesachim 103a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:4)

מַאי הָוֵי עֲלַהּ? אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: יַקְזְנָ״ה, וְרָבָא אָמַר: יַקְנְהָ״ז, וְהִילְכְתָא כְּרָבָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What** halakhic conclusion **was reached about** this matter? What is the proper order of the blessings? The *amora’im* accept Rav’s opinion that one should recite *kiddush* before *havdala*; however, they disagree about the blessing of time, which is generally relevant in such cases and which Rav did not address. **Abaye said** that the proper order is ***yod*, *kuf*, *zayin*, *nun*, *heh*:** The blessing over wine [*yayin*], *kiddush*, the blessing for time [*zeman*], the blessing over the candle [*ner*], and *havdala*. **And Rava said** the order is ***yod*, *kuf*, *nun*, *heh*, *zayin*:** Wine [*yayin*], *kiddush*, candle [*ner*], *havdala*, and time [*zeman*]. The Gemara concludes: **And** the ***halakha*** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rava.**


###### Pesachim 103a:5
[Pesachim 103a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:5)

רַב הוּנָא בַּר יְהוּדָה אִיקְּלַע לְבֵי רָבָא, אַיְיתוֹ לְקַמַּיְיהוּ מָאוֹר וּבְשָׂמִים. בָּרֵיךְ רָבָא אַבְּשָׂמִים בְּרֵישָׁא וַהֲדַר אַמָּאוֹר. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: וְהָא בֵּין בֵּית שַׁמַּאי וּבֵין בֵּית הִילֵּל — מָאוֹר בְּרֵישָׁא וַהֲדַר אַבְּשָׂמִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to this issue of *havdala*, the Gemara relates that **Rav Huna bar Yehuda happened to** come to **the house of Rava.** After Shabbat, **they brought before them a light and spices. Rava recited the blessing over the spices first and then** the blessing **over the light.** Rav Huna bar Yehuda **said to him: But both Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel,** who dispute the order of the blessings at *havdala*, agree that the blessing over **light is first, and** only **then** comes the blessing **over the spices.**


###### Pesachim 103a:6
[Pesachim 103a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:6)

וּמַאי הִיא? דִּתְנַן, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים: נֵר וּמָזוֹן, בְּשָׂמִים וְהַבְדָּלָה. וּבֵית הִילֵּל אוֹמְרִים: נֵר וּבְשָׂמִים, וּמָזוֹן וְהַבְדָּלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And what is this;** what is the source that this is the dispute between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel? **As we learned** in a mishna: **Beit Shammai say** that with regard to one who is required to say Grace after Meals and *havdala*, and he has only one cup of wine, the proper order of the blessings is: The blessing over the **candle, and** the blessing of Grace After **Meals,** followed by the blessing over the **spices, and** finally ***havdala*. And Beit Hillel say:** The blessing over the **candle** comes first, **and** then the blessing over the **spices, and** afterward the blessing of Grace After **Meals, and** last is ***havdala*.** Both Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel agree that the blessing over the candle is recited before blessing over the spices.


###### Pesachim 103a:7
[Pesachim 103a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:7)

עָנֵי רָבָא בָּתְרֵיהּ וְאָמַר: זוֹ דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר, אֲבָל רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: לֹא נֶחְלְקוּ בֵּית שַׁמַּאי וּבֵית הִילֵּל עַל הַמָּזוֹן שֶׁהוּא בַּתְּחִלָּה וְעַל הַבְדָּלָה שֶׁהִיא בַּסּוֹף,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava answered after him and said: This** mishna is **the statement of Rabbi Meir. However, Rabbi Yehuda says: Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel did not disagree over** Grace After **Meals, as** everyone concurs that **it is** recited **first, nor** did they disagree **over *havdala*, as it is** recited **last.**


###### Pesachim 103a:8
[Pesachim 103a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:8)

עַל מָה נֶחְלְקוּ? עַל הַמָּאוֹר וְעַל הַבְּשָׂמִים. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים: מָאוֹר וְאַחַר כָּךְ בְּשָׂמִים, וּבֵית הִילֵּל אוֹמְרִים: בְּשָׂמִים וְאַחַר כָּךְ מָאוֹר. וְאָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: נָהֲגוּ הָעָם כְּבֵית הִילֵּל וְאַלִּיבָּא דְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**With regard to what did they disagree?** They disagreed over the blessings recited in the middle of *havdala*, i.e., the blessings **over light and over the spices. Beit Shammai say: Light** first, **and spices thereafter; and Beit Hillel say: Spices** first, **and light thereafter. And Rabbi Yoḥanan said: The people were accustomed** to conduct themselves **in accordance with** the opinion of **Beit Hillel, according to** the interpretation of **Rabbi Yehuda.** Rava acted as dictated by this custom.


###### Pesachim 103a:9
[Pesachim 103a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:9)

רַב יַעֲקֹב בַּר אַבָּא אִיקְּלַע לְבֵי רָבָא, חַזְיֵהּ דְּבָרֵיךְ ״בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הַגֶּפֶן״ אַכָּסָא קַמָּא, וַהֲדַר בָּרֵיךְ אַכָּסָא דְבִרְכְּתָא, וְאִישְׁתִּי. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: לְמָה לָךְ כּוּלֵּי הַאי? הָא בָּרֵיךְ לַן מָר חֲדָא זִימְנָא! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: כִּי הֲוֵינַן בֵּי רֵישׁ גָּלוּתָא הָכִי עָבְדִינַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates another incident with regard to establishing meals and reciting blessings. **Rav Ya’akov bar Abba happened to** come to **Rava’s house** for a Shabbat meal. **He saw that** Rava **recited** the blessing: **Who creates the fruit of the vine, over the first cup** of wine he drank at the meal, **and then he recited** the same **blessing upon the cup of** wine he used for the **blessing** of Grace after Meals **and drank** it. **He said to him: Why do you** have to say **all this,** i.e., why is it necessary to recite a second blessing? **The Master has recited a blessing for us once** already, at the beginning of the meal, and thereby exempted us from a blessing on all the wine drunk during the meal. Rava **said to him: When we were in the house of the Exilarch, this was our practice.** It was the custom among the Sages to recite two blessings.


###### Pesachim 103a:10
[Pesachim 103a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/103a:10)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ: תִּינַח בֵּי רֵישׁ גָּלוּתָא דְּהָכִי עָבֵיד, דְּסָפֵק מַיְיתֵי לַן סָפֵק לָא מַיְיתֵי לַן. הָכָא, הָא מַנַּח כָּסָא קַמַּן וְדַעְתַּן עִילָּוֵיהּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אֲנָא עֲבַדִי כְּתַלְמִידֵי דְרַב, דְּרַב בְּרוֹנָא וְרַב חֲנַנְאֵל תַּלְמִידֵי דְרַב הֲווֹ יָתְבִי בִּסְעוֹדְתָּא

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**He said to him:** It works out **well to act this way** in **the house of the Exilarch, as there is uncertainty** as to whether **he will bring us** another cup of wine to drink, **or whether he will not bring us** another cup. Since we are dependent upon the host and cannot anticipate in advance whether we will drink more wine, each cup requires its own blessing. **Here,** however, **the cup is resting before us and our attention is on it,** i.e., we intend to drink this wine after Grace after Meals. What need is there to recite another blessing? **He said to him: I acted in accordance with the** opinion of the **students of Rav, as Rav Beruna and Rav Ḥananel, the students of Rav, were sitting** together **at a meal,**
