Havdalah wine

Hi,


We have been learning about Havdalah.

There are those who take some of the Havdalah wine and use it to "rinse out" their eyes after Havdalah; this is intended to show love for the Mitzvah.

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 296:1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

  1. Isn't also good for refuah? I heard about it and I think I found a reference to it in Masechet Shabbat 108b.

  2. Yes, I have heard that as well, but the Shulchan Aruch (Rama actually), doesn't bring it.
