- Q. Hello Rav!
when we say the bracha on the flame in havdalah, do we look at our fingers first and then say the bracha, or do we say the bracha and then look?
I've always said the bracha first and then looked, but I just read in a Sephardic siddur that since its a "bracha of praise", you should first look, then say the bracha (like how you would a rainbow, thunder, etc). Thanks.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that there are indeed different minhagim and each one should follow his family tradition.
