Please come to our ever-popular Israeli-Style Kabbalat Shabbat this Friday at P’nai Or of Portland. “Israeli-Style” means that we will light candles at the correct hour and do Kabbalat Shabbat BEFORE dinner, hence the early start. So come straight from work! “Israeli-Style” means that we will sing our way through all of the Kabbalat Shabbat psalms and piyutim (hymns) and still be done with services in a little over an hour.

“Israeli-Style” means that everyone eats Shabbat dinner with friends. Don’t be shy – invite yourself to someone’s house! (That is truly the Israeli way!) If you would like the mitzvah of more guests or want us to arrange a place for you to go, please contact Gayle Lovejoy immediately (admin@pnaiorpx.org).

Hazzan Baruch Morris, Maggidah Cassandra Sagan, and all of our Levite musicians look forward to sharing Shabbat joy with you.
