Forgot to Make Havdalah
Question
I remembered today that I did not hear Havdalah (I am a woman). Do I need to recite Havdalah today?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
It is obligatory to make Havdalah until shekiah of Tuesday evening.
When Havdalah is not made on Motzaei Shabbos, one recites only the blessing over the wine and the Havdalah blessing HaMavdil bein Kodesh leChol, but does not recite the blessings over the spices or the candle.
According to the Sephardic custom, if one already ate, then one may not recite Havdalah on Sunday.
