Interruption at the End of Havdalah
Question
At the end of Havdalah, before the person reciting it finishes drinking, is it forbidden for the listeners (who do not drink the wine) to speak to avoid an interruption like in Kiddush, or is it different in Havdalah?
Answer
Hello,
One should remain silent until the person reciting Havdalah drinks as required.
Since the drinking is obligatory, the listeners must also fulfill their obligation through the drinking of the one reciting.
