“L’Cha Dodi, L’Krat Kallah” –
Come my beloved, let us greet the bride!
Come join us to welcome the Sabbath (Shabbat)
bride, who sanctified us with her presence every
Friday night at sunset, and stays with us until
Sunset on Saturday. We joyfully welcome the
Jewish Shabbat with song, dance, rituals and
delicious food. As Shabbat descends, we cease
co-creating with God, we cease aspiring, and we
enter a sacred time of appreciating and
glorifying all we have. It is a time of gratitude
to God who makes all this possible; a time of
gratitude for the blessings of family, friends and
life. So, let us gather and together celebrate this
sacred moment, this gift that is given to us every
week. If you can let us know you are coming, it
would be helpful for planning purposes. Call
Mary Dailey at 617-332-6987 or email
supple_dailey@mac.com.
