Welcoming Shabbat with Shalom Aleichem at Chicago's Anshe Emet Synagogue

With Pesach in the rear view mirror, and freshly baked challah returning to our dining room tables, we're ready to welcome another Shabbat with a Kabbalat Shabbat service including Shalom Aleichem. 

After a busy week of Passover, it's time for another restful Shabbat. Today's Kabbalat Shabbat includes Shalom Aleichem, the liturgical poem that we sing on Friday evening at home before a traditional Shabbat dinner.

It's the 57th version of Shalom Aleichem that we've posted on Jewish Humor Central. This traditional version is sung by the clergy of Anshe Emet Synagogue of Chicago.

Anshe Emet is one of the oldest Conservative congregations in Chicago. Founded in 1873, Anshe Emet has a long history of being a center for Torah study, cultural activity, and Israel and social justice advocacy.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
