The letter "Hey" is closely linked to the Havdalah ceremony, which can be carried out as soon as three stars appear in the sky.    All Jews receive an additional soul, "The Neshamah Yetairah", each Shabbat to better understand the Torah.    This extra soul leaves us when the Havdallah is recited.    The Shabbat farewell ceremony consists of blessing over wine, candle light, and spices.
