# There's a dispute whether Havdalah is Deorittah or Derabbanan. <ref> Rambam (Hilchot [[Shabbat]] 29:1) writes that the command of "Zachor Et Yom Ha[[Shabbat]]" (Shemot 20:7) includes the positive mitzvahs of [[Kiddish]] and Havdalah every week. Other Rishonim that agree with Rambam include Ravi’ah [[Brachot]] 3:1, Ritvah as quoted by the Nimukei Yosef Pesachim 55, and Sefer Hachinuch Mitvah 31. However, Tosfot (Tosfot Nazir 4a s.v. My Hee in name of Rabbenu Tam) and the Rosh (Sh"t 11:3) hold that Havdalah is Derabbanan. Mishna Brurah 296:1 quotes both opinions and adds that if one said Havdalah in [[Tefillah]] the Havdalah on the wine is certainly Derabbanan.</ref> | # There's a dispute whether Havdalah is Deorittah or Derabbanan. <ref> Rambam (Hilchot [[Shabbat]] 29:1) writes that the command of "Zachor Et Yom Ha[[Shabbat]]" (Shemot 20:7) includes the positive mitzvahs of [[Kiddish]] and Havdalah every week.
