Singing ‘Lekha Dodi’: Shabbat as ‘Tikkun Olam’.

Pleased to share the publication of my article, “Singing ‘Lekha Dodi’: Shabbat as ‘Tikkun Olam’.” The article shares the insights of a long study of the Friday night song, “L’cha Dodi,” with my dear study partner (hevruta), Rabbi Joyce Galaski, of blessed memory. It turns out the song speaks to the holiness of every place and every person, and invites us to experience that each Shabbat.
