In the City of Tsfat in the 15th and 16th centuries, every Erev Shabbat, Friday night, the mystics would gather out in a field and sing love songs, like Lecha Dodi. They beleived that Shabbat, the day of rest, was also a day of wholeness, both in our world and in the heavenly realm. Like our ancestors, every Friday night, we gather together in joy and in love, each of us striving toward a sense of wholeness. Our stresses peal away and our souls expand as we are embraced with music, poetry, meditations and teachings of Torah.
