One of my grandchildren asked me why we are not allowed to eat before
Havdalah. My immediate response was that it was like not being able to eat
before kiddush on Friday night. The Rambam links the two to an extent in
chapter 29 of hilchot shabbat, but when I looked in the bet Yosef, havdala
seemed more linked to the gemara psachim 105, which links it to a danger of
askara. My guess is that gemara just means that there’s a specific
punishment for it, but I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts
