What distinguishes the 7th and 6th days of the week?

שו”תCategory: Meta HalachaWhat distinguishes the 7th and 6th days of the week?
asked 4 years ago

I said a strange phrase tonight…
We also recited the Havdalah on the cup. We are in the middle of the week and say the phrase ‘between the seventh day and the six days of the work’…
This is a bit funny. Did someone put something like that on the phone?

I didn’t understand the difficulty. Why don’t you ask about the one who distinguishes between light and darkness? God distinguishes between things of all kinds. On the eve of Yom Kippur, we bless Him for all His distinctions, including between Shabbat and the six days of work.

Didn't find anything suitable between Utah and Hol?
It seems like a waste.

They definitely found: the one who distinguishes between the sacred and the profane. This is a fixed blessing formula for all differences and I really don't understand this insistence. And are there no fundamental problems in the law that you specifically addressed with this particular non-Ishim?
By the way, they specifically chose Shabbat because regarding it, it is God who distinguishes between the sacred and the profane, and it is we who distinguish (Israel sanctified it for the times). But this discussion really seems pointless to me.

‘Israel is sanctified for times’ This is a beautiful word, but in the Israeli version, let's say it was written like this for Shabbat (see here:

A version that would also The holiday of "Ata Honananu" (for those who are bothered by it) will be between the days of the strike/rest and the days of the action (without Sheshet).

Sorry, the link in the comment above doesn't work, but you can search Google for the Eretz Israel version > for the Wikitext that appears in the results > for the evening prayer for Shabbat.
