“Lekah Dodi Likrat Kallah” is a well-known Jewish liturgical song that is traditionally sung during the Friday evening service to welcome the Sabbath. It is often sung as part of the Kabbalat Shabbat, the service that marks the beginning of Shabbat.
The song’s lyrics include both biblical and mystical references, drawing on themes of love, longing, and the spiritual connection between God and the Jewish people. It is a beloved and uplifting song that helps set the mood for the Sabbath and creates a sense of unity and joy within the community.
This arrangement is joyful, entrancing and spiritually seductive. Few songs so effectively invite the Divine Feminine into our presence.
