I say it in Hebrew and I'm sepharadi. Someone asked about lighting a candle from the havdala candle, my grandmother does it and she says that it is to bring the kedusha of shabbos to the week through light. I think it's beautiful even though I don't do it

I sing it 3 times, when it's quiet. Maybe when my kids will be older we'll sing it together.

I also light two candles M Shabbos before Havdalah.

My mother says it. My husband does too and sometimes I say it along with him.

I say it (3 times) every Motzei Shabbos in Hebrew.
It's in most of my bentchers. I love it. It's such a beautiful tefila!
Hey - it's short and sweet and enables me to pray for all the things that matter!

I say it 3 times as soon as I say baruch hamavdil, before doing any melacha.
DH says it along with some additional things before havdalah.

I say it together with dh in yiddish just before havdullah (eventhough we dont even really speak yiddish).
its such a beautiful tfillah!
we love the part 'un keyn andere chalilah nisht', which is a double negative Smile

3 times when I remember. but not the typical one. my mother taught me something similar and shorter. her mother taught it to her cuz that's what she learned at home. other than my (extended) family I have never heard anyone say it in our version...

I used to say it, Im not quite sure why I havnt done in ages! Thanks for the reminder, I must start up again. Its lovely tefilla. I learnt the minhag from an elderly couple in E''Y, they were not chassidish.

I do! I don't have a minhag of it, am far from chassidish, but I think it is so beautiful, and a great way to start off the week, with a reminder that Hashem is the one who can grant you a successful week.... Yehuda! has a beautiful tune of it that I sing, I think on his "higher and higher cd"

I say it in hebrew and try to say it every motzei shabbos b4 havdalah

I remember my grandmother a'h saying it in yiddish, by heart (of course) every motzei shabbos, but I fumble so badly through the yiddish words and don't really understand them, so I say it in hebrew. Then I try to put a coin in the pushka.

In sem we used to sing it before havdalah (3 times) in yiddish.
Now I sing it to myself/to ds if he is up (3 times) in yiddish.

I have friends who say it in hebrew.

One of my friends has a video of her in the kever of the rebbe (r'elimelech??) in kiev. She is singing it on motze shabbos in the kever, with a few russian girls. It is so special.

Same here. We also light two candles for havdala but then turn it off (don't ask me why).
