# The cantor recites | # The cantor recites [[Havdalah]]h in the synagogue on behalf of those who have no wine or who will not recite [[Havdalah]]h for himself in his home. Whoever wishes to can listen to the cantor's [[Havdalah]]h in the synagogue and fulfill his obligation, even thought the listener is not holding a cup of wine. It is a widespread minhag ion our times for the cantor to recite [[Havdalah]]h in synagogue, and there is no need to protest the custom. It should be made clear to the congregation, however, that everyone must recite [[Havdalah]]h at home on behalf of his family members who have not heard it in the synagogue, even though he himself did hear it. <ref> Yalkut Yosef, Siman 295, Halacha 1 </ref> | ||
# The cantor must sit down when he recites | # The cantor must sit down when he recites [[Havdalah]]h in the synagogue, and all those of he congregation who wish to fulfill their obligation by listening to him must sit while he recites it. <ref> Yalkut Yosef, Siman 295, Halacha 2 </ref> | ||
# The opinion of the Geonim is that whoever recites kiddush or | # The opinion of the Geonim is that whoever recites kiddush or [[Havdalah]]h must drink at least melo lugmav of the wine, and if he does not he has not fulfilled his obligation of kiddush or of [[Havdalah]]h. This opinion should be followed in practice, and therefore the person who is chosen to recite [[Havdalah]]h in the synagogue must be someone who will be able to drink melo lugmav. If the only person capable of reciting [[Havdalah]]h is someone who cannot drink that much wine, then he should recite [[Havdalah]]h, taste a sip of the wine, and then give it to another person who can drink melo lugmav. He should inform that person beforehand that he should have in mind when listening to the blessing of boreh peri hagefen that he will drink from the cup afterward.<ref> Yalkut Yosef, Siman 295, Halacha 3 </ref> | ||
# if someone is not sure whether or not he will have wine available for | # if someone is not sure whether or not he will have wine available for [[Havdalah]]h, he should listen to the cantor recite [[Havdalah]]h in the synagogue, but eh should stipulate in his mind that he wishes to fulfill his obligation only if he has no wine at home, but that if he does find wine at home he does not wish to fulfill his obligation in the synagogue. Then, if he finds that there is wine available at home, he may recite [[Havdalah]]h for himself in accordance with the condition he made. <ref> Yalkut Yosef, Siman 295, Halacha 4 </ref> | ||
