Eliezer Ben Avraham:
Does anyone know what the besamim symbolizes? I understand the havdalah candle and the wine, but what does the besamim represent?

Not sure about what they represent, but you smell it (or something pleasent) in order to "appease" (dont have the right word ) your regular soul, becuase the extra Shabb-t soul has left you.

How does that comfort you? Anyway, I believe that the fires of Hell stop only for those Jews who have kept Shabb-ahht.

Judaism doesn't believe in hell, just Olam habah. I think that what that means is if you lived according to G-d's will you will be immortalized and if you didnt your death will signal your end
