I’m learning, but some say don’t use a knife on Shabbat until the entire duration of Shabbat is over on Saturday night after Havdallah

He is singing the Hanukah melody/nusach, not Shabbat.

What's the best approach when people don't know/understand to remain silent between the blessing and completion of the commandment? This occurs during kiddush at shul sometimes and I usually smile and hold up a finger to wait but I'm not sure if this is appropriate because it seems like I'm scolding.

Hi Erica. We would suggest consulting your local Orthodox Rabbi or Rebbetzen about this as it is a common question that they answer. You can find a list of US Rabbis and Rebbetzens here - www.theus.org.uk/rabbis. We hope this is helpful but please be in touch if we can be of further assistance.

Thank you, great suggestion.

Don't Sephardis "rip" the bread open with their hands, and then pass it around the table? No need for a bread knife!

Definitely & 100% !!! NO "bread knife" !
