Text Excerpt
אמר רבא: הילכתא, טעם — מקדש, וטעם — מבדיל, ומי שלא קידש בערב שבת — מקדש והולך כל היום כולו עד מוצאי שבת. מי שלא הבדיל במוצאי שבת — מבדיל והולך כל השבת כולו.
Rava said: The halakha is that one who tasted food before kiddush may recite kiddush; and one who tasted food before havdala may recite havdala; and one who did not recite kiddush on Friday, at night, may recite kiddush any time during the entire day until the conclusion of Shabbat. Likewise, one who did not recite havdala at the conclusion of Shabbat may recite havdala any time during the entire week, i.e., during the first 3 days of the week, the time period called: After Shabbat.
אמימר פתח לה להא שמעתא דרבא בהאי לישנא, אמר רבא: הילכתא, טעם — מקדש, טעם — מבדיל, מי שלא קידש בערב שבת — מקדש והולך כל היום כולו, מי שלא הבדיל במוצאי שבת — מבדיל והולך כל היום כולו.
Ameimar began this teaching of Rava in this emended formulation: Rava said: The halakha is that one who tasted food before kiddush may recite kiddush; and one who tasted food before havdala may recite havdala; and one who did not recite kiddush on Friday, at night, may recite kiddush any time during the entire day. One who did not recite havdala at the conclusion of Shabbat may recite havdala any time during the entire day of Sunday, but no later.
אמרי ליה מר ינוקא ומר קשישא בריה דרב חסדא לרב אשי: זימנא חדא איקלע אמימר לאתרין, ולא הוה לן חמרא. אייתינא ליה שיכרא, ולא אבדיל ובת טוות. למחר, טרחנא ואייתינא ליה חמרא, ואבדיל וטעים מידי. לשנה תו איקלע לאתרין, לא הוה לן חמרא, אייתינא שיכרא, אמר: אי הכי, חמר מדינה הוא, אבדיל וטעים מידי.
The Talmud relates that the Mar Yanuka, the younger Mar, and Mar Kashisha, the elder Mar, both sons of Rav Ḥisda, said to Rav Ashi: Once Ameimar happened to come to our place and we did not have wine for havdala. We brought him beer and he did not recite havdala, and he passed the night fasting, as it is prohibited to eat before havdala. The next day we exerted ourselves and brought him wine, and he recited havdala and tasted some food. The next year he again happened to come to our place. Once again we did not have wine and we brought him beer. He said: If so, if it is so difficult to obtain wine in your place, beer is the wine of the province. He recited havdala over the beer and tasted some food.
