Erev Shabbat (Friday Night)

On Friday nights, Valley Beth Shalom is filled with song.  Every week there is a prayer service that lifts the spirit, engages our culture, and draws families together.

An artist cannot be continually wielding his brush.  He must stop at times in his painting to freshen his vision of the object, the meaning of which he wishes to express on his canvas.  Living is also an art. … The Sabbath represents those moments when we pause in our brush work to renew our vision  of this object.  Having done so, we take ourselves to our painting with clarified vision and renewed energy.  (Mordecai Kaplan, The Meaning of God in Modern Jewish Thought)
