What happens if one forgot to say Havdalah on Motzaei Shabbat and began the Haggadah?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that if one forgot Havdalah and already began the Haggadah, one finishes the Haggadah through Ga'al Yisrael and then says Havdalah. The Mishnah Berurah explains this is because Havdalah requires a cup and one may not interrupt the Haggadah with drinking.
