The Chasidic rebbe Shneur Zalman of Liady taught, “There are gates in heaven that cannot be opened except by melody and song.” This Friday night, we will have the special opportunity to pray together with extra song and melody. Some of the community’s talented musicians will join me in leading our Kabbalat Shabbat service. I hope you will come and join us, adding your voices (no talent required!). It’s been a pleasure and an honor to pray and learn with you all this year. Thank you for welcoming me into your community and into your homes.
