Kabbalat Shabbat means receiving or welcoming Shabbat, we do so through psalms and a kabbalistic (Jewish mystical) prayer called Lecha Dodi. This service is meant to serve as a bridge between the hectic nature of the week and the peaceful arrival of Shabbat. The second part of the evening is Ma’ariv, the evening service, which includes prayers acknowledging the arrival of nighttime, and core Jewish prayers such as the Shema and the Amidah, with special paragraphs about Shabbat. Friday night services (often referred to in their entirety as Kabbalat Shabbat) are often songful, reflective, and offer a spiritually meaningful way to leave the past week behind and enter into the holy time of Shabbat.

Avodat Lev, meaning “heart work”, is a songful, contemplative prayer practice that follows the format of the weekday services in a mix of simple chants, meditations, and poetry in Hebrew and English. The practice is meant to guide us in greeting the afternoon/evening, acknowledging our own holiness and our connection to the holiness of Creation, expressing gratitude, and setting an intention for the month/ season ahead. Avodat Lev was developed by the Adamah program at Isabella Freedman. No prior prayer knowledge or practice is required and all are welcome. -
