Rabbi Howard Morrison

Dear Congregational Family,

Over the next two Friday evenings and perhaps beyond, the structure and style of the early Kabbalat Shabbat will be in a participatory davening mode.

This evening and next week, you are invited to join me over Zoom or Facebook. As with our weekday morning and evening services, I encourage you to have a Siddur at your side. We will start with Mincha, read the Yahrzeit names for Friday, and recite a personalized Kaddish. I will share a brief Dvar Torah.

Kabbalat Shabbat will be recited in its full traditional way through Lcha Dodi, which means we will have not actually received Shabbat during this service. On your own, later in the evening, you may choose to complete the service and fully receive the holiness of Shabbat.

Following the Psalm which precedes Lcha Dodi, I will read the Yahrzeit names for Shabbat and recite the personalized Kaddish.

I invite you all to join me at 6pm on line to introduce the coming of Shabbat as a congregational family.

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Howard Morrison
