Rabbi Berel Wein
Havdalah and the Jewish take on moral equivalence: Havdalah, the ceremony concluding the Sabbath, translates as "separation." Rabbi Berel Wein says, "the central idea that this ceremony signifies is the clear message of Judaism that as far as spiritual matters are concerned, not everything is to be treated equally.""It remarks upon the differences between light and dark, between the holy and the profane, between the sanctity of the Sabbath day and the days of the workaday week."
