- Question: [Sunday, 12th Sivan, 5781]
I am at home and need to recite both Havdalah and Kiddush Levanah. Is there any law regarding what I should proceed?
Answer:
Yes, you should precede the recital of Havdala to Kiddush Levana being that it is said more often, and hence follows the rule of Tadir Tadir Kodem. [However, in Shuls that don’t recite Havdalah, Kiddush Levana is recited in Shul with a Minyan prior to doing Havdalah at home.]
