The evening began with a walk to a home overlooking the Kotel (Western Wall) and Dome of the Rock in the Old City. On the way thru the streets of the Jewish section of the city many were on their way to Shabbat. Some in silence, some singing, young boys anxious for possibly their first visit to the wall on the Sabbath.
We were welcomed into a home to celebrate Kabbalat Shabbatwith song, food, singing and prayer.
Shortly before sunset the women and girls light candles, which usher in peace and blessing to their homes and to the world.
