Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi by Shelly Fox at Temple Israel of Hollywood

Once again it's time to welcome Shabbat with Lecha Dodi, the centerpiece of the Kabbalat Shabbat evening service. Today's version is performed by Cantorial Soloist Shelly Fox of Temple Israel of Hollywood, California.

Shelly Fox has served Temple Israel of Hollywood as Cantorial Soloist since 2015 and as Music Director since 2017. Shelly is deeply interested in exploring the balance between tradition and innovation in worship music and encouraging people to discover and develop their own voice in prayer and song.

Before focusing on Classical Music, Shelly was a folk singer-songwriter in Upstate New York and Nashville, Tennessee. She enjoys bouncing between styles and in any worship service one can hear her lead the congregation in song with her guitar and also fill the room with old synagogue classics.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
