# The Ashkenazic minhag is to say [[Havdalah]] after reading the [[Megillah]], while the Sephardic poskim advise saying Borei Me’orei HaEish before the [[Megillah]] and the rest of the [[Havdalah]] afterwards. <ref> The Kol Bo (45) writes that Rabbeinu Chananeil and the Raavad held that if [[Purim]] falls out on Motza’ei [[Shabbat]], one should recite [[Havdalah]] before the [[Megillah]]. He adds, however, that the minhag of Narvona was to say [[Havdalah]] after the [[Megillah]]. The Sefer Minhagim (Tirna, [[Purim]] s.v. [[Arvit]]) and Rama 693:1 write that the minhag is to say [[Havdalah]] after the [[Megillah]]. The Bei’ur HaGra 693:1 explains that we recite [[Havdalah]] after the [[Megillah]] in order to delay ending [[Shabbat]] as much as possible (see Pesachim 105b). Pri Megadim M”Z 693:1, Mishna Brurah 693:3, and Nitei Gavriel 28:8 agree. | # The Ashkenazic minhag is to say [[Havdalah]] after reading the [[Megillah]], while the Sephardic poskim advise saying Borei Me’orei HaEish before the [[Megillah]] and the rest of the [[Havdalah]] afterwards. <ref> The Kol Bo (45) writes that Rabbeinu Chananeil and the Raavad held that if [[Purim]] falls out on Motza’ei [[Shabbat]], one should recite [[Havdalah]] before the [[Megillah]].
