    Orach Chayim Siman 491

    Orach Chayim Siman 491 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 2 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.

    What to track

    Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.

    Study lens

    Look for a turn toward a more precise resolution, Shabbat law and sacred time. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

    Original text

    <b>סדר הבדלה במוצאי יום טוב. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>במוצאי יום טוב בין במוצאי י"ט לחול בין במוצאי יום טוב לחולו של מועד מבדיל בתפלה כמו במוצאי שבת ומבדיל על הכוס כמו במוצאי שבת אלא שאינו מברך לא על הנר ולא על הבשמים:

    The Havdalah service on the conclusion of a festival contains two parts. On the conclusion of a festival, whether it is the conclusion of a festival to a weekday or to an intermediate day, one recites the Havdalah prayer in the same way as one does at the conclusion of Shabbat, and recites the Havdalah blessing over a cup, but without reciting the blessings over the candle and the spices.

    יום טוב שחל להיות במוצאי שבת אומר באתה בחרתנו ותודיענו:

    When a holiday falls on Saturday night, one adds "and You made known to us" in [the blessing of] "You have chosen us"
