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

Ascending and Descending the bimah
Hi,
One who receives an aliyah should ascend the bimah via the shortest possible route, both to show his desire for the mitzvah and to respect the time of the waiting community.
However, after the aliyah one should return to his seat via a longer route, to show he is not in a rush to leave the mitzvah.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 141:7; Mishneh Berurah 141:22-23)
Have a great day,
