It was recited at the end of the Friday evening prayer and at the end of the Sabbath morning prayer, in the synagogue; in the course of time, before the two meals (Friday evening and Saturday at noon) in families. The q. was recited by the head of the family or his representative (e.g., the eldest son). At the close of the Sabbath and of festivals, the prayer of "distinction," habhdālōh, between sacred and working time was recited over the wine.
