Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi at Beit T'shuvah in Los Angeles


Beit T'shuvah isn't your father's or grandfather's synagogue. But it is a congregation that meets every Friday night and Shabbat morning to welcome Shabbat in its very own way.

Based in Los Angeles and led by Rabbi Mark Borovitz, its mission is to guide individuals and families towards a path of living well, so that wrestling souls can recover from addiction and learn how to properly heal.
 
The Beit T'Shuvah faith-based model, founded on authenticity and wholeness, integrates spirituality, psychotherapy, Jewish teachings, the 12 Steps, and the creative arts. They are a compassionate, supportive community, devoted to building an empowering sense of belonging and purpose to everyone who seeks it.
 
They also like to sing and dance, and they don't hold anything back when they get together on Friday evening and Shabbat morning for their unique services.
Last month they welcomed Shabbat with the traditional Friday evening melodies including Lecha Dodi.
Enjoy and Shabbat shalom!
