The Structure & Mystical Meaning of Kabbalat Shabbat

This post presents two approximately 4 minute long videos by Rabbi David Paskin introducing the basic structure and meaning behind the Kabbalat Shabbat service. The first video focuses on the first six Psalms of the service, which represent the six days of the week leading up the Shabbat. The second video explores L’cha Dodi, the central hymn of the service, where one transitions into Shabbat. Full of Talmudic stories and mystical teachings, these videos will enhance your understanding and experience of the Kabbalat Shabbat service. Rabbi David Paskin is an accomplished spiritual leader, singer/songwriter, entertainer, Jewish futurist, social activist, and award-winning Jewish educator.
