1 שיר תקוה ק"ק Congregation Shir Tikvah Guide to Erev Shabbat at Home "We live in an age where family is being newly valued, and where the richness of Shabbat home liturgy is in greater demand than ever before." - Rabbi Lawrence A. Hoffman, Shabbat At Home Throughout Jewish history, the beginning of Shabbat has always been a moment which is ritually marked both personally and communally by the Jewish people. In ancient days our ancestors marked the start of Shabbat by ceasing from daily work, and by adding a pinch of aromatic spice to the oil lamps in the home. In the Temple, an extra sacrificial animal was dedicated to the holy day. Later, our ancestors who wandered in European exile celebrated Shabbat in ways that grew in cultural complexity and meaning. In the Middle Ages Jews knew the beginning of Shabbat as a time for the best meal of the week, in honor of the day; men would go to their small village s only synagogue, women and their daughters would light candles at home at sunset while the men were in shul with their sons. (Kabbalat Shabbat, the welcoming of Shabbat, only began to develop the centrality it now has in our Friday evening prayers after the 16 th century mystics of Tzfat created most of the rituals we associate with it today, such as the singing of Lekha Dodi.) It was when the men arrived home that Shabbat truly began, and all gathered around the table with the guests that had been invited to sing, to share stories of the week, to eat, and to hear at least one of the guests offer a few words about the parashat hashavua, the Torah portion of the week. In the modern era, many of us lost our connection to the ritual of Kabbalat Shabbat at home as we found ourselves influenced by non-jewish American rhythms of life. Distance and demands of work keep us from being able to experience both the communal welcoming of Shabbat in the synagogue, and the home celebration with family and friends. The two rituals developed together and were never meant to stand alone, but often we must choose between them. This Shabbat At Home guide is meant to help us re-acquaint ourselves with the ritual of kabbalat Shabbat at home. It is not meant to encourage a return to pre-modernity, but an informed awareness of the ritual forms which gave meaning to our people's life, and still do in many communities. In our egalitarian congregation, we obviously do not expect that the women will cook and the men will lead the ritual unless that is the agreement, freely arrived at! To be a Jew today is to learn of our past and thoughtfully to make choices regarding our own sense of Jewish identity, for ourselves and our families. This guide seeks to empower those who would learn more, through experience, of the rituals which give meaning to the holy day which is Shabbat. Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom! שלום! שבת 1

2 Kabbalat Shabbat Welcoming the Shabbat Every erev (eve of) Shabbat is welcomed by the ceremony of Kabbalat Shabbat, a ritual of blessings and song which helps us to make the transition from our busy work week to the spiritual peace of Shabbat. Starting with a simple song helps us to calm down and get ready to welcome Shabbat. Try an easy repetitive song: you can sing the words or la la them. Bim bam, Shabbat Shalom! בם בם, שבת שלום סדר הדלקת הנרות Ritual for Lighting the Shabbat Candles On erev Shabbat: בּ רוּך אַתּ ה י ה ו ה א ל ה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עוֹל ם א שׁ ר ק דּ שׁ נוּ בּ מ צ וֹת יו ו צ וּ נוּ ל ה ד ל יק נ ר שׁ ל שׁ בּ ת: Barukh atah Adonai Eloheynu melekh ha'olam asher kidshanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu l'hadlik ner shel Shabbat.

We give thanks for the awesome, mysterious power of the universe which causes vines to grow and grapes to ripen, making our ritual a symbol of freedom as we remember the Exodus from Egypt. We give thanks for the mitzvot of our relationship with God, for the Shabbat, for love and learning, and for memory. This is our day, the most holy of all days, a reminder of the Exodus from Egypt, and on it we give thanks for the gift of our Jewish heritage. Blessed is the Shabbat, for this chance to make our lives holy. 4

Barukh atah Adonai Eloheynu melekh ha'olam asher kidshanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al netilat yadayim. Blessed is the source of Holiness which we touch through mitzvot such as washing of the hands. בּ רוּך אַתּ ה י ה ו ה א ל ה ינוּ מ ל ך ה עוֹל ם. ה מּוֹצ יא ל ח ם מ ן ה אָר ץ: Barukh atah Adonai Eloheynu melekh ha olam hamotzi lekhem min ha aretz. Blessed is the source of Life which causes grain to grow and inspires the labor which turns it into bread. The Meal is Served ברכת המזון Meals Birkat hamazon, the Grace after It is a two-thousand year old tradition to give thanks after eating with the following prayer: When God returned the exiles to Zion we were as dreamers, full of joyful laughter. They said among the nations, "God has done great things for them!" Yes, God has done great things for us. O God, return all our exiles, let them come home as great floods in the Negev may those who went out to sow in tears come home bearing their sheaves in joy. שׁ יר ה מּ ע לוֹת. בּ שׁוּב י ה ו ה א ת שׁ יב ת צ יּוֹן ה י ינוּ כּ ח ל מ ים: אָז י מּ ל א שׂ חוֹק פּ ינוּ וּל שׁוֹנ נוּ ר נּ ה. אָז י אמ רוּ ב גּוֹי ם ה ג דּ יל י ה ו ה ל ע שׂוֹת ע ם א לּ ה: ה ג דּ יל י ה ו ה ל ע שׂוֹת ע מּ נוּ. ה י ינוּ שׂ מ ח ים: שׁוּב ה י ה ו ה א ת שׁ ב ית נוּ כּ א פ יק ים בּ נּ ג ב: ה זּ ר ע ים בּ ד מ ע ה בּ ר נּ ה י ק צ רוּ: ה לוֹך י ל ך וּב כ ה נ שׂ א מ שׁ ך ה זּ ר ע. בּ א י ב א ב ר נּ ה. נ שׂ א א ל מּ ת יו: Shir hama'alot: b'shuv Adonai et shivat Tziyon hayinu k'kholmim, az y'maleh skhok pinu ul'shoneynu rinah.

As it is written: "When you have eaten and been satisfied, you shall bless Adonai your God for the good land that you have been given." (Deut. 8.10) Blessed is God for the land and the sustenance it gives. May Jerusalem be completely rebuilt speedily and in our days. Blessed is God, the compassionate spirit behind the rebuilding of Jerusalem. May the Compassionate One send blessing upon this house and this table at which we have eaten. May the Compassionate One send Elijah the Prophet, may his memory be a blessing, to bring us good news of redemption and consolation. כּ כּ תוּב. ו אָכ ל תּ ו שׂ ב ע תּ וּב ר כ תּ א ת י ה ו ה א ל ה יך ע ל ה אָר ץ ה טּ ב ה א שׁ ר נ ת ן ל ך: בּ רוּך אַתּ ה י ה ו ה. ע ל ה אָר ץ ו ע ל ה מּ זוֹן: Kakatuv v'akhalta v'savatah uveyrakhta et Adonai Elohekha al ha'aretz hatovah asher natan lakh.
