A special Kabbalat Shabbat gathering in the Jerusalem courtyard of Beit Avi Chai. The program includes traditional Kabbalat Shabbat songs, Israeli songs, piyyutim, and modern Hebrew singing. The event also features spoken introductions, midrash, and conversation.
In the delicate time between the weekday and the holy day, we join the annual cycle for a different Kabbalat Shabbat:
Traditional Kabbalat Shabbat songs, Israeli songs in special arrangements, Sephardic and Ashkenazi piyyutim, modern Hebrew music that captures the spirit of the times, and segments of guidance, midrash, and conversation in a Jerusalem courtyard.
