★彡 Shabbat Queen 彡★
Dear Mispoche in HaShem in our Lord,
★I pray a blessing over our Shabbos. May His Shalom fill our houses.
Rest in Him and welcome the Queen of the week! ★
★The Sabbath Queen. Due to the Diaspora and assimilation of many of the Jewish people, there has been a great loss. Lost is the significance of welcoming the Shabbat Queen, which is very ancient and very much a Jewish custom and is why the evening service to welcome the Shabbat is called "Kabbalat Shabbat" (Welcoming the Sabbath). ★
★ “Shabbat,” “bride” and “queen” represent three different ways we honor the Shabbat: We rest from work. The word Shabbat means “rest.” With special clothing, as a bride gets dressed up for the wedding. ★
