Greeting Shabbat in White and Learning the Secrets of God

In the 16th century, the rabbis of Safad and their followers welcomed Shabbat dressed in white.  As the sun went down, these rabbis and their congregations would go out into the fields singing “Come, my friend, let us go together and meet the Sabbath bride.”

We still sing Lecha Dodi at our own services and every summer we choose one service for wearing white. That Shabbat service is nearly upon us  —  tomorrow night in fact.  We’ll dress like angels and hear a story in which we will discover how to learn the secrets of God.

Please join us for a sweet summer Shabbat!
