Six days a week we work, eat, sleep, exercise and go about our daily lives. When Shabbat arrives, we pause to reconnect with the Creator. On Friday afternoon as the sun sets and Shabbat begins, we have a special mystical prayer called Kabbalat Shabbat, which includes Psalms, poems and study to greet the Shabbat Queen.

What is the meaning of the Kabbalat Shabbat prayers? When did they start? And why do we refer to Shabbat as a queen?

A fascinating discussion about Kabbalat Shabbat, the mystical service greeting the Shabbat!
