<div>> The "halakhic" spark is the oxidation or destruction of material. The electric spark is the </div>
<div>> result of the movement of quantities of electrons through the air. Both cause light. </div>
<div>> Can one learn the halakhic category of the electric spark, assur or mutar, from</div>
<div>> comparison with the other phenomenon?<br><br>I would think "halachik" sparks (in which some metal is being "consumed") are more similar </div>
<div>to a regular fire than electrons jumping across the air which don't "consuming" anything.</div>
<div>Has anyone seen any sources on lightning in connection with fire? Such as saying boreh mi'oriah ha'esh</div>
<div>by havdalah?</div>
