On what kind of fire (candle) is the motzei Yom Kippur Havdalah blessing recited?
Synopsis
The Havdalah at motzei Shabbat uses 'new fire' created at Shabbat's end; motzei Yom Kippur requires specifically a 'rested fire' — one that was lit before Yom Kippur and rested during it. There is dispute about fire lit from new fire vs. rested fire.
