We held our first Kabbalat Shabbat (Welcoming the Sabbath) service on Friday February 16 and will continue to run it once a month. Coming dates: March 16, April 20, May 18. It is the shortest service of Shabbat, taking place on Friday night, after dark. It welcomes the Shabbat by singing seven Psalms and assorted other prayers, and ends with kiddush over wine. It takes about one hour. Part of it will be singing, part schmoozing with others, and part praying silently. No need to read Hebrew. We will have transliterations for all, in addition to Hebrew. We hope to make the service musical and meaningful and beautiful and intelligent. And traditional and egalitarian. When it is over, we will eat a light, dairy meal and then sing some Sabbath songs. You are welcome to show up just for the service or for the service and also the meal (free!) Questions? E-mail us at our webpage.
