Question
I am new to Halachic thought and have a question about Havdallah when ending a Yom Tov. What are we supposed to do differently when doing Havdallah for a Yom Tov rather than Shabbat?
Answer
At the conclusion of a Yom Tov that is not the conclusion of a shabbat as well only two Brachot are said: “Borei Pri Hagefen” and “Hamavdil Bein Kodesh Lechol”.
