Kabbalat Shabbat in the Round

Join us on the last Friday of May for a musical service to welcome in Shabbat, followed by a delicious vegetarian/dairy potluck dinner. This our last Kabbalat Shabbat before Ma’alot’s summer break (mid-June to mid-July), so come out and join us on Friday, May 31!

We believe that it’s better to offer a few words of prayer with kavvanah (intention and feeling) than many words without it. (Rambam agrees). So we sing just one verse from various psalms of Kabbalat Shabbat, and we sing it over and over so we can really feel it. No need to flip through a heavy prayer book, all the words you need are on one sheet, complete with English transliteration and translation. You could dance and jump, cry, laugh, or sit in silence and stillness. We embrace it all, the highs and lows, the joy and the grief, together.

Venue: Candler Park neighborhood, exact location is shared 12-24 hours in advance of the event.
